Alto Mare, the City of Water. From high above, you see stone and brick buildings, some older than the oldest residents of the city, canals snake through the city in an endless maze of water, tourists and residents of the city move about the streets, and the trees grow lush and tall. Just a short distance from this stunning city are the blue-green waters of the sea, above the city is the vast blue of the sky, and the bright gleam of the sun. Snow white clouds drift overhead as bird Pokemon dive in between and through them. The city seems so...peaceful.

But all is not well, the guardian of Alto Mare, Latias, and her son, the new Latios of Alto Mare, have disappeared, leaving their home deep in the heart of Alto Mare deserted. Many are not aware of this fact, not aware that deep within the Johto Region, Latias and the young Latios are lying in steel cages, chained to the floor of their cage, kept in seperate rooms, and unable to do much more than sleep, eat, and breathe. Not aware that there are people in the building in which they are kept who want to use them for their own personal gain, not aware that the two pokemon are slowly losing hope, in fact, few even know that the two pokemon are gone. The group behind them all has no real name, they simply call themselves X, perhaps for the sake of secrecy, but they all share one common trait, greed. They harbour a thirst for power, and have captured two of the most amazing and powerful pokemon to satisfy their thirst, though how they will use Latias and Latios still remain unknown.

In their absence, the beautiful garden in which they previously lived has begun to wither, and the Soul Dew is without a guardian, making it an easy target for those who want power, without any thought of its consequences. Those people are the ones who will have the power to destroy the city if they get their hands on the Soul Dew, which is kept in a hidden pool, and the people who are seeking the power that comes with the Soul Dew have revealed themselves.

No one really knows what they look like, for they operate by night, and therefore, are rarely seen by others. Many people show no concern over their presence, although the people who show no concern are the very ones who have no clue what devastation can occur when the Soul Dew is in the hands of those two people. Little is known about them, save for their names, their genders, and their goal.

Names: Alya and Kay

Gender: Both Female

Goal: Steal the Soul Dew and use it to destroy Alto Mare and eventually gain control of the Region of Johto (being rather more realistic people, they have not vividly dreamed of taking over the entire Pokemon world yet, though they hope this may happen in the future.)

Both are skilled in disguise and stealth, and are considered to be skilled Pokemon trainers, meaning that their time has not been wasted making useless plans. They will be hard to defeat, but several trainers, aware of the danger that lies in the future of Alto Mare, have decided that they, along with their pokemon, will find a way to stop Alya and Kay from stealing the Soul Dew, and return Latias and the young Latios to Alto Mare.

RULES

1. All PC rules apply to this roleplay

2. Please try to stay active if you are to join this roleplay, it is a mark of your dedication and...whatever else. So in other words, please don't join if you know that you will only post a couple of times and then disappear off to...I don't know, Alpha Centauri or something.

3. Legendaries cannot be captured, even though this roleplay involves two legendary pokemon (Latias and Latios), on a rare occasion, one character might see one, but seeing as they're incredibly rare, this, too, is unlikely.

4. No god-modding or bunnying without permission (of the person who plays that character.) That should be obvious, but I like to put it on anyways, for those who aren't aware of that rule.

5. Technically, there shouldn't be a ton of violence in this roleplay, and if there is, it shouldn't be like, broken bones, a ton of blood, etc.

6. Stick to your character's personality and biography, some information about your character might only be revealed once the RP starts, but don't make up a whole new change in personality and a whole new story about your character's childhood and stuff.
7. Try to be original (no Pikachu's who hate their pokeball, or something like that. Its fine to have a Pikachu, just not one that almost copies Ash's Pikechu.)
8. You are responsible for letting me know when you will be inactive for a period of time spanning more than two days, if you haven't posted in a while, I will kick you out of the RP, and I would hate to have to do that if you actually wanted to do this RP, but forgot to let me know.
9. Have fun! Enough said on that rule.

GAME (ROLE?) PLAY INFO

- I will be participating in this roleplay, which means I likely won't grade each and every one of your posts, though occasionally I will compliment your post if it is especially stunning or something, and negative constructive criticism if you really need to improve your posts, because your mistakes/grammatical errors or something similar are too numerous for me to just let slide.

- You will not start out as a beginning trainer, rather, you will be a trainer who already has some experience with Pokemon, meaning that you are allowed to have evolved pokemon and such.

- We will begin the RP when around six or so people have signed up, maybe less, it kind of depends, but let's say six for now.

- Your pokemon will not be decided on strength by level, but rather by how much experience they have had in battling and such.

- You cannot play a Group X member, for their part in the RP will be relatively small until you can do something about Alya and Kay.

- This RP will run in day to day form, as chapters might not work considering this is not a journey. Each day will contain at least one event that will involve your character.

- You will be allowed to control the members of Group X, and Alya and/or Kay in battle and such, however, you may not make them pathetically weak and your character sweeps through the battle defeating each and every one of the members or both Alya and Kay with apparent ease. You will be responsible for making the battles realistic, remember, these will likely be tough battles if you do come face to face with them.

- Just so you know, Group X is in no way connected with Alya and Kay, though they have helped Alya and Kay out somewhat by capturing Latias and Latios, though they aren't aware of it.

- Your pokemon will have access to all the moves it learns naturally, as well as a maximum of three TM/Egg/Tutor moves.

Name:Parker Stoke
Age:15
Gender:Male
Appearance: Parker wears a bit of an odd form. He has really pale skin and stands at the height of 6 feet. His eyes are a crystal blue, probably one of the most colorful things about him. If that is not the most colorful thing then it has to be his hair. Parker's hair is a dark,burgundy color i(t hangs over one eyes). His hair also has hints of a lighter red, that you can see if you actually take a good look at him. His frame is thin, and very feminine, he doesn't really care.

His clothes are also a bit on the odd side for everyday attire. You would definitely not see someone wearing his wardrobe everyday. This is just how Parker likes to dress. He has a short,black 'top hat' sort of hat with a red ribbon on it. Then he wears a suit. His suit is black, with a burgundy undershirt. It has silver trimming around it. The shoes that he wears are also black, his socks, a reddish-burgundy color. Then around his neck and arms are many charms. He has for necklaces,each with their own meaning. One necklace is a long chain, with a purple rabbit's foot at the bottom. The next is a thin rope, that has a fang at the bottom. Another is a black string thing with many shells on it. Lastly his last necklace is pendant like thing. Inside is a picture of his family when he was much younger. Although, his clothes and hair often change.

Personality: Parker is somewhat of an outcast. He doesn't really like it, but that is just how it flows. This probably happened this because he is sort of new to the town. Really Loves to have friends, but left all his human friends back home. He likes to be unique and away from people who are all the same. He believes that you should be proud of who you are and what you have done. He has been given many labels, such as 'Emo'.'Goth', and 'Punk'. He doesn't really care much for labels though. Parker likes to make an analysis of the situation before charging in. Look before you leap. Parker is very intelligent and often is found leading when everyone else is puzzled or afraid. He doesn't really show sadness or fear. He usually stays calm when everyone is else is panicking. He thinks that there is no point in being sad or panicking as it really does get you no where. He also has an adventurous side. that often gets himself into trouble.

Biography:Parker even as a young child enjoyed the company of pokemon. His parents owned a huge ranch where they bred pokemon. So. he grew up around them learning many techniques for taking care of pokemon. The only thing that he didn't like was how boring it was breeding them, all you did was feed them and clean them, occasionally train them. The job got funner as he grew older, he trained the pokemon alot more. His favorite was an Abra that followed him everywhere that he went.

One day Parker decided to go exploring. He entered a supossedly haunted house and soon found himself being attacked by a group of ghost pokemon. The leader of whitch was a Gengar. He tried to run but the pokemon would not let him, so he just sat down and sulked. Then a huge crash appeared, scaring off all the pokemon but Gengar. The Gengar proceeded to taunt him, but the Abra jumped in to save him. He took quite a beating, but then evolved into a Kadabra and fended off the Gengar and got Parker out of the house safely. When Parker tirned the age of ten he set off on a journey going far and wide. Now he is where he is today.

Name: Lisa Quillaume, goes by the name Quin

Age: 17

Gender: female

Appearance: Quin has reddish-brown hair, grey eyes and tan skin. Her eyes are relatively large and her face is round which makes her look a lot youger than she actually is. She is short-ish and remotely plump. She usually wears either green or blue clothes and her wardrobe consists mostly of loose, comfortable trousers, somewhat tight hoodies and shirts to wear under the hoodie. She always has her priced white scarf around her neck. When dressing formally, she wears a skirt.

Personality: Quin is always very shy around people she doesn't know, but after a while she becomes more friendly. She is sarcastic and loves to make people laugh, but she is easily provoked into doing stupid things if annoyed by something. In battles, she often cheers for the weaker party, changing sides all the time. She is very adaptive and doesn't get mad easily if something unfair is done to her. She likes being alone but rather spends her time with people she knows. She wants to be a novelist when she gets older.

Biography: Quin was born in Goldenrod City, but her family has moved many times. Her mother is a Pokémon researcher and her father is a novelist. She has two siblings: twins, three years younger than her. One of the twins is a boy, Mark, and the other is a girl, April. She has lived a fairly normal life with her family. The only notable peculiarities about her life are that her mother breeds Skitty as a hobby - she picked it up from Hoenn - so Quin had a Skitty as her starter. She is also often obligated to give Skitty eggs to her friends if there are too many for her mother to take care of. The other peculiarity is, of course, the fact her family has moved often. She's lived practically in every city and town of Johto and one in Kanto (Fuchsia city for about a year; however, she was far too young to remember anything from it) and Hoenn. She started as a trainer when she was 13. Until that time she did not have any interest to be a trainer and she dreamed about being a novelist instead. Later on she decided that it would be good for her career as a novelist to have some experience and so she embarked on her trainer journey with her Skitty.

Pokemon:
Skitty - female - nicknamed Audrey - Quin got Audrey from her mom a long time ago. She has yet to evolve into a Delcatty, because Quin hasn't found a Moon Stone on her travels. She is very experienced but not very strong and has lost many times. She doesn't care for battling that much.
Marill - male - doesn't have a nickname - Marill is the newest addition to Quin's team. He is somewhat experienced but hasn't battled under Quin's command for a very long time. He has a friendly nature so he gets along with his new team.
Quilava - female - nicknamed Cizz - Quin got Cizz as an egg from a strange man who was fascinated by the fact someone had a name that started with the letter "Q". The man was so amused my Quin's name that he gave her the egg he had received. Cizz has a medium amount of experience and is a skilled fighter. She is somewhat of a tactician herself, so she can manage battles without Quin's constant commands.
Pupitar - male - nicknamed Mesh (short of Gilgamesh) - Both Quin's younger siblings, Mark and April, caught Larvitars. After they were bred, the egg was given to Quin on the precondition Mark would get to name the newborn Pokémon. He named the Larvitar Gilgamesh, but as Quin disliked the name, she shortened it to Mesh. Mesh is already a fairly experienced Pokémon, but as he is a bit stubborn, he sometimes loses fights.
Jumpluff - male - nicknamed Luffy - One of Quin's firt catches, Luffy is already a highly skilled fighter and almost seems to have a mental link with Quin. He's a reliable companion and often tries to make Mesh to behave himself.

(Yes, she only has five Pokémon. That's because she always keeps an empty space in her team to help her mother with hatching the Skitty eggs. She has released any other catches she has made because she doesn't want to trap Pokémon in PC boxer for their life.)

Other: Quin has a white scarf she received from her best friend when her family had to move again. She has had her scarf for years and she goes nowhere without it. She also thinks her real name, Lisa, is too plain, and that's why she has insisted that everyone calls her Quin. She's even concidered having "Quin Quillaume" as her writing name.

RP Sample: As I already mentioned, I've never roleplayed before, but I think I'll do fine. You can check my fics if you want to see how I write generally, but other than that, I have nothing to present you. Sorry.

Played By: Kev XY

Name: Kasey Pierce
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Standing at 6’1, Kasey is a well built teenage boy. His semi-long, greasy, dark brown hair hangs over his head, showing no signs of life... while his deep blue eyes glow passionately and compliment his lightly tanned skin. Kasey's usual attire consists of a short sleeved black t-shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. On his feet he wears old white skate shoes with tattered pink laces over white ankle socks.

During colder weather Kasey has been seen wearing his usual clothing with a few changes and additions. He adds a white zip-up hoody with Aipom pictures imprinted on it and he swaps his old skate shoes for even older beige ugg boots that look as though they've never been cleaned.

Formal occasions are something Kasey dreads, he hates being seperated from his natural dingy look and old unclean clothes. His normal attire is replaced by a black jacket worn over a thick plain white t-shirt and black dress pants, he keeps his old white skate shoes and adds a black baseball cap worn backwards just to bring out his more rebelious side.

Personality: Most people would describe Kasey as a bit odd and those people would be right. Kasey doesn't like acting like everyone else and is always a bit out there, he enjoys running, shuffling, telling jokes and acting like a complete fool. Although, he is also one of the most calm and collected people you'd ever meet.
Kasey is very smart and knows the answer to nearly every question, but even if he doesn't know... he'll pretend like he does and end up making a joke about it.

What makes Kasey a lot different to all the other adolescent teenage boys out there is the fact that he doesn't spend his time chasing girls. He'd much rather just be himself and let the girls come to him, which doesn't happen all that much seeing as how unusual he is.

When it comes to Pokemon, Kasey is the number one person to come to for all your Pokemon facts. He enjoys hanging out with his Pokemon and treats them more as freinds then as pets.
Kasey loves a good battle, but will only partake in one if his Pokemon want to... he doesn't like to make his freinds do things they don't want to.

Biography: Kasey was born in Goldenrod City, where he lived for most of his life with his mother and older brother, Luke. As a young boy, Kasey enjoyed exploring his surroundings and often wandered off into Ilex Forest... he'd never get lost though, Kasey was much too smart for that to happen.

Kasey's curiousity would usually get him into trouble and cause him to get confind to his room without supper. Luke loved his little brother too much to let him starve, he would always sneak Kasey some food while their mother wasn't looking.

Kasey's mother wasn't like all the other mothers in Goldenrod City, she was a bit of an outcast and often spent her time alone... either getting drunk or crying in her room.
Kasey and Luke tried not to worry too much about it and would usually just take care of themselves.

Once Luke was finally old enough he decided to go on his Pokemon Journey, which meant leaving Kasey with their unstable mother. Luke didn't want his younger brother to get hurt, so he made a few calls and got their grandparents to take care of Kasey while their mother got the help she needed.

So, Luke left to go on his Pokemon Journey and Kasey moved to Ecruteak City to live with his grandparents. He spent the rest of his young life there and finally got the care he needed and deserved.

Soon enough it was time for Kasey to start his own Pokemon Journey, he packed up his things and headed off on his way to New Bark Town.

Pokemon:
Aipom-Male: Kasey's first and favourite Pokemon, he doesn't stay inside his Poke Ball and enjoys riding on Kasey's shoulder. Kasey met Aipom in Ilex Forest while he was on his way to New Bark Town, he was being attacked by a Heracross which Kasey scared off by playing his music loudly. Aipom is a very useful part of Kasey's team, knowing such moves as; Swift, Agility and even Thunderbolt.

Bayleef-Female: Kasey recieved Bayleef from Professor Elm when she was just a Chikorita. She is a very proud and determined battler, often trying to be the centre of attention. Kasey loves her dearly as she is the main powerhouse on his team, with strong moves like; Razor Leaf, Light Screen and Body Slam.

Hitmontop-Male: Hitmontop is Kasey's laziest Pokemon and doesn't realise the great power that he holds. Hatching from an egg as a Tyrogue while in Kasey's arms, the fighting Pokemon took an immediate liking to him and has since become a strong addition to his team, honing powerful moves like; Quick Attack, Triple Kick and Detect.

Gligar-Male: The clown of Kasey's Pokemon team, he loves to play pranks on Kasey's other Pokemon and usually gets hurt in the process. Gligar actually found Kasey while he was on his way to a small town, he tripped the teenage trainer as a joke and since then they've been best friends. Despite being such a fool, Gligar has access to some pretty powerful moves... such as; Knock Off, Fury Cutter and Screech.

Sneasel-Female: Kasey's newest Pokemon, he found her lying in the middle of a path where she had been injured and was helpless. She is very moody and stubborn because Kasey hasn't had a chance to train her properly yet. Kasey isn't sure what type of moves Sneasel has to offer, but she has used Ice Punch more than once as a a form of defence.

Kasey has different coloured Poke Balls for each of his Pokemon:
Aipom has a Poke Ball that is purple on top and cream on the bottom
Bayleef has a Poke Ball that is green on top and cream on the bottom
Hitmontop has a Poke Ball that is blue on top and light brown on the bottom
Gligar has a Poke Ball that is purple on top and light blue on the bottom
Sneasel has a Poke Ball that is black on top and pink on the bottom

Other: Kasey never goes anywhere without his white iPod Mini (RETRO!) chock full of different kinds of music, playing it as loud as he can to drown out the world around him. Kasey has a song for every occasion.

RP Sample: I can't be bothered copying a sample right now, but if you have a look at some of my more recent posts in Zimvee's Kanto Region RP... then you should be able to get an idea of how I RP.

Name: Angel

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Rather tall for her age, Angel stands at 1.77m and is of a lean build. She prefers long, silver, split tailed coats and grey jeans, with a white and grey polka dotted 3/4 sleeve top. She also has a pair of silver wristbands with a unique, swirling, vine design on them.

Personality: Level-headed and calm, Angel has a demeanour that makes everyone shy away from her. She likes to be alone, prefering solitude to bustling crowds and festivals. Her pokemon are her best friends and family, sealing her own special bond with them. She's also loyal towards those who manage to get her to trust them and believes that power isn't absolutely everything.

Biography: Angel was born in Johto, Azalea town. Her mother died when she was 2 years old and she continued to live with her father, who was a gardener in the forest nearby. Later, when she was 6 years old, her father died of an unknown illness, leaving Angel to be raised by her grandparents in Blackthorn city. Tandra was also caught here just as she was leaving for Hoenn to see the professor there.

In hoenn, Angel caught Sandra almost immediately and Topaz sometime after. She participated in the contests more than winning the gym badges and wanted to train her pokemon to be more independant. Years later, Angel returned to blackthorn city to find out that her grandparents had died while she had been away and left her their sum of money and the house.

She sold the house to the gym leader, Clair, and went to Alto Mare, once again, finding out that something has happened and that Latias and Latios have been kidnapped and two people are currently trying to find and steal the sould dew. So, by her ways and her nature, she wanted to find Latias and Latios and replace them back where they belong.

Pokemon:
Species~Nickname~Gender~Summary

All of Angel's pokemon have special pokeballs made by Kurt for them.

Kyuubi-an Orange coloured pokeball all around with the japanese Kitsune or fox symbol engraved on it repeatedly.
Tandra-a sapphire coloured pokeball with an aquamarine gem encased on the top.
Husky-Husky's ball is silver with a small line of diamonds circling it.
Sandra-while chocolate in colour(yum!), when released, the japanese symbol for ground is displayed.
Rio-Rio's pokeball is a plain dark blue with black stripes due to his request.
Topaz-her pokeball is a shiny golden coloured as expected, with a small yellow topaz gem encased in the button.

Ninetales~Kyuubi~Male~Kyuubi was just a vulpix in an egg when Angel recieved him from her father, therefore sealing their bond together ever since he was born. Kyuubi is Angel's long time companion, as he has been with her longer than all the others.

Dragonair~Tandra~Female~Tandra was caught by absolute accident when Angel was fishing in blackthorn city. She did not expect a sudden Dratini to hop out of the pond attached to her old rod! Tandra also holds an everstone so she can't evolve anymore.

Honchkrow~Husky~Male~Husky was actually a prank present to Angel for her halloween party. Strangely though, in the end, he ended up nearly pecking the person that sent him to Angel in a cage to death.

Flygon~Sandra~Female~Sandra was caught nearly the same time as Tandra while as a Trapinch, so it wasn't too strange that Angel made their names almost the same.

Lucario~Rio~Male~Silent and Loyal, Rio obeys Angel without a word, therefore he's her second most loyal companion after Kyuubi. She also recieved him from egg, a chirstmas present from her grandparents.

Manectric~Topaz~Female~Topaz had been abandoned by it's previous owner in a cave full of ground type pokemon. When Angel found her, she had suffered internal damage, loss of self esteem and had an abnormal fear of digletts and dugtrios. Angel has been trying to mend the damage ever since.

Other: Unfortunately Angel cannot swim, so therefore, she needs to rely on Tandra alot when dealing with rivers, lakes and open seas.
RP Sample:
"grrrr...can this day get any worse?" Haelii muttered underneath her breath. She tucked her tail and paws underneath her even closer, away from the entrance of the small hollow she had found. Outside, the pitter-patter sounds of rain pouring down could be clearly heard. She laid her head down on a pile of moss she had collected and watched the drops of rain hit the ground. Maybe now was a good time for a nap.

Haelii sniffed the air hesitantly, making sure not to run into any savage pokemon. She had been traveling for days around the area near her home, wondering where to go next, as the condition of her home was worsening and she wanted to stop it before it degraded entirely. She had managed to find, on the eastern bordor of flare land, a dusty, old tome describing the mythology on the land around here. Deciding to act of what the tome said, she had searched the abandoned village for days on end, looking for a map to lead her to the south pole. In the end, she had to tear all of the small maps off the wall in a community hall and use those. Haelii padded towards a dense bush, staring at the plump blue berries adorning it's rim. She opened her mouth slightly to pluck one from it's branch before hesitating, 'If the berries weren't poisonous, wouldn't they have been eaten by now?' she fought a raging battle in her head between logic and hunger. Sooner or later, logic eventually won and she stepped away from the bush. Suddenly, an undersized Trapinch scrambled out and plopped onto the ground, landing at her feet. "eh? just what is a Trapinch doing out here in the middle of a volcanic ashland?" Haelii accused it. The Trapinch looked up at her with large eyes, "I can help you find the south pole" was all it said.

He still wears his Sharpedo Knecklace, only underneath his outfit.

Personality: Scott is very jolly and happy-go-lucky all of the time. You can always find him smiling, and will only have a frown when someone has been hurt or is in danger. He is very careful, and will go out of his way to help any one else that is in danger, may it be friends or foes. He is also fare, and think that he should only be nasty to people if they are being nasty aswell. He gets angry when others are unfair and will try and state his policy boldly and stick to it. He also doesn't like scolding his Pokemon or any one else. if he is nasty by accident, he is quick to appologize and make up for the little out-burst.

Biography: Scott grew up in Sinnoh. He was born and bred in Twinleaf Town, and had no problem living there. Despite the fact he was lonely and couldn't really socialize with any one in Town, he loved to interact with Pokemon, and was delighted when his Father brought him home a Pokemon. he had always wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer, being set an xample by his Sister, and Gym Leader, Fanita. His Father was a Scientist and worked for the famous Proffesor Rowan, and was always out on the field. His Mother was an Ex-Pokemon Coordinator, so he had plenty of encouragment and help, so his Family cheered him on, and, at the age of 13, he became a Trainer and set about Sinnoh.

Pokemon: Scotts first Pokemon was a Misdreavus. He obtained her from his Father when she was still Level 1. He trained her hard, and eventually, she evolved into a Mismagius with the aid of a dusk Stone. She had traveled everywhere with Scott, and grew an excellent bond together, always sharing memories, or just talking to each other when ever Scott was alone.

Another of Scotts Pokemon is Combee. Recived in a Trade between Scotts unloved Onix, Combee was happy with Scott, and didn't seem bothered leaving her old Trainer. They Trained well together, and always got along. Combee seemed very useful at keeping the Team full when times of hunger attacked. She is also extremly fast and skilled in battle with the little moveset she has.

Scotts last Pokemon is his Male Snover. He captured Snover in Floroama Meadow, but has always wondered what he was doing there. They made friends easily, and loved to battle together, always beating there enemies. Scott always found Snover a bit strong-powered, and sometimes disobeys what Scott says and attacks without thinking.

Other: No... Not Really.
RP Sample: This is taken from my Fave RP, Pokemon Rainbow Dreams...

Scott entered the loomy forest. beams of sunlight shone through the gaps between branches and Hoppip driffted past singing a melodic tune. "WOW!" Shouted Scott,"This place isn't that scary." boasted Scott. He opened up his Pokedex and pointed it upwards.

Welcome to the Mystifying Forest. North of Fairview town, it is a forest in perfect balance of weather. Many rare pokemon can be found here. Over 12 legendary Pokemon sightings have been registered here.

"Loads of my favirote Pokemon are here!" Said Scott eagerly. "Well you're not gonna be able to catch any, 'cause I've got a trainer to beat!" Replied Amelia smugly. they walked around for a few moments, until they found the perfect spot for a battle. Trees surrounded them in what seemed like a wall, and some Pokemon spectators peered through the trees.

"Now, let's go Turtwig!" Shouted Amelia as she through the Pokeball in the air and it seemed to explode and settle into the small Turtwig. "If I know my pokemon, turtwig is a grass type, which means poison should be good." Pondered Scott until he finnaly reached his desicion. "GO! SKORUPI!" Bellowed Scott as he to threw the Pokeball, summoning a light that gathered into a Skorupi. "Sko!" It screeched happily. "You may have the first move, Scott." exclaimed Amelia kindly. "Thankyou." Replied Scott with a smile,"Now. Skorupi, use poison sting!" commanded Scott. Skorupi dashed up to the Turtwig, piercing it in its shell. "Turtwig, use withdraw then rapid spin!" Shouted Amelia. Rapid Spin?! thought Scott with a puzzled look on his face. turtwig withdrew into his shell and began to spin very quickly. Skorupi was still attached to Turtwigs shell and was spinning around with him. Suddenly, Skorupi flew off and skidded across the ground.

"Turtwig, Bullet Seed!" Commanded Amelia. Turtwig was still spinning but was sending out bullet-like seeds in all directions. "Quick, Dodge!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi turned off his back and jumped high in the air, using his tail to propel himself. The bullets flew underneath him. "Now, poison sting again!" shouted Scott. Skorupi flew towards Turtwig, knocking him off the ground and into the air, where Turtwig came back out of his shell and landed in a bush. "Again, Skorupi!" shouted Scott. Skorupi zoomed into the Turtwig and poisoned it, eventually causing it to faint. "Excellent work, Turtwig! Return!" said Amelia with a slight hint of sadness in the tone of her voice, as a red light covvered Turtwig and sucked him back in his ball.

Lastly his last necklace is pendant like thing. Inside is a picture of his family when he was much younger. Although, his clothes and hair often change.

One day Parker decided to go exploring. He entered a supossedly haunted house and soon found himself being attacked by a group of ghost pokemon. The leader of whitch was a Gengar.

The Gengar proceeded to taunt him, but the Abra jumped in to save him. He took quite a beating, but then evolved into a Kadabra and fended off the Gengar and got Parker out of the house safely.

Lostt- Yeah, sure, your reserved. The point is that both Group X and Alya and Kay are fighting to gain control of Alto Mare. Your role in the roleplay is to keep Alya and Kay from stealing the Soul Dew, and Group X from carrying on their plans. Both pairs/groups of people will be working to carry out their plans daily, and it is likely that both will have followers willing to assist them in their attempts to gain control of Alto Mare, the Soul Dew, or the world.

All right, now. I've never done this before, so feel free to decline my sign-up. I mean, I've got to start somewhere, but I don't want to bother people by being a newbie :laugh: So, tell me if I'm not wanted and I'll go, no hard feelings! I'll try my best anyway.

Name: Lisa Quillaume, goes by the name Quin

Age: 17

Gender: female

Appearance: Quin has reddish-brown hair, grey eyes and tan skin. Her eyes are relatively large and her face is round which makes her look a lot youger than she actually is. She is short-ish and remotely plump. She usually wears either green or blue clothes and her wardrobe consists mostly of loose, comfortable trousers, somewhat tight hoodies and shirts to wear under the hoodie. She always has her priced white scarf around her neck. When dressing formally, she wears a skirt.

Personality: Quin is always very shy around people she doesn't know, but after a while she becomes more friendly. She is sarcastic and loves to make people laugh, but she is easily provoked into doing stupid things if annoyed by something. In battles, she often cheers for the weaker party, changing sides all the time. She is very adaptive and doesn't get mad easily if something unfair is done to her. She likes being alone but rather spends her time with people she knows. She wants to be a novelist when she gets older.

Biography: Quin was born in Goldenrod City, but her family has moved many times. Her mother is a Pokémon researcher and her father is a novelist. She has two siblings: twins, three years younger than her. One of the twins is a boy, Mark, and the other is a girl, April. She has lived a fairly normal life with her family. The only notable peculiarities about her life are that her mother breeds Skitty as a hobby - she picked it up from Hoenn - so Quin had a Skitty as her starter. She is also often obligated to give Skitty eggs to her friends if there are too many for her mother to take care of. The other peculiarity is, of course, the fact her family has moved often. She's lived practically in every city and town of Johto and one in Kanto (Fuchsia city for about a year; however, she was far too young to remember anything from it) and Hoenn. She started as a trainer when she was 13. Until that time she did not have any interest to be a trainer and she dreamed about being a novelist instead. Later on she decided that it would be good for her career as a novelist to have some experience and so she embarked on her trainer journey with her Skitty.

Pokemon:
Skitty - female - nicknamed Audrey - Quin got Audrey from her mom a long time ago. She has yet to evolve into a Delcatty, because Quin hasn't found a Moon Stone on her travels. She is very experienced but not very strong and has lost many times. She doesn't care for battling that much.
Marill - male - doesn't have a nickname - Marill is the newest addition to Quin's team. He is somewhat experienced but hasn't battled under Quin's command for a very long time. He has a friendly nature so he gets along with his new team.
Quilava - female - nicknamed Cizz - Quin got Cizz as an egg from a strange man who was fascinated by the fact someone had a name that started with the letter "Q". The man was so amused my Quin's name that he gave her the egg he had received. Cizz has a medium amount of experience and is a skilled fighter. She is somewhat of a tactician herself, so she can manage battles without Quin's constant commands.
Pupitar - male - nicknamed Mesh (short of Gilgamesh) - Both Quin's younger siblings, Mark and April, caught Larvitars. After they were bred, the egg was given to Quin on the precondition Mark would get to name the newborn Pokémon. He named the Larvitar Gilgamesh, but as Quin disliked the name, she shortened it to Mesh. Mesh is already a fairly experienced Pokémon, but as he is a bit stubborn, he sometimes loses fights.
Jumpluff - male - nicknamed Luffy - One of Quin's firt catches, Luffy is already a highly skilled fighter and almost seems to have a mental link with Quin. He's a reliable companion and often tries to make Mesh to behave himself.
(Yes, she only has five Pokémon. That's because she always keeps an empty space in her team to help her mother with hatching the Skitty eggs. She has released any other catches she has made because she doesn't want to trap Pokémon in PC boxer for their life.)

Other: Quin has a white scarf she received from her best friend when her family had to move again. She has had her scarf for years and she goes nowhere without it. She also thinks her real name, Lisa, is too plain, and that's why she has insisted that everyone calls her Quin. She's even concidered having "Quin Quillaume" as her writing name.

RP Sample: As I already mentioned, I've never roleplayed before, but I think I'll do fine. You can check my fics if you want to see how I write generally, but other than that, I have nothing to present you. Sorry.

Name: Kasey Pierce
Age: 16
Gender: Male

Appearance: Standing at 6’1, Kasey is a well built teenage boy. His semi-long, greasy, dark brown hair hangs over his head, showing no signs of life... while his deep blue eyes glow passionately and compliment his lightly tanned skin. Kasey's usual attire consists of a short sleeved black t-shirt and a pair of light blue jeans. On his feet he wears old white skate shoes with tattered pink laces over white ankle socks.

During colder weather Kasey has been seen wearing his usual clothing with a few changes and additions. He adds a white zip-up hoody with Aipom pictures imprinted on it and he swaps his old skate shoes for even older beige ugg boots that look as though they've never been cleaned.

Formal occasions are something Kasey dreads, he hates being seperated from his natural dingy look and old unclean clothes. His normal attire is replaced by a black jacket worn over a thick plain white t-shirt and black dress pants, he keeps his old white skate shoes and adds a black baseball cap worn backwards just to bring out his more rebelious side.

Personality: Most people would describe Kasey as a bit odd and those people would be right. Kasey doesn't like acting like everyone else and is always a bit out there, he enjoys running, shuffling, telling jokes and acting like a complete fool. Although, he is also one of the most calm and collected people you'd ever meet.
Kasey is very smart and knows the answer to nearly every question, but even if he doesn't know... he'll pretend like he does and end up making a joke about it.

What makes Kasey a lot different to all the other adolescent teenage boys out there is the fact that he doesn't spend his time chasing girls. He'd much rather just be himself and let the girls come to him, which doesn't happen all that much seeing as how unusual he is.

When it comes to Pokemon, Kasey is the number one person to come to for all your Pokemon facts. He enjoys hanging out with his Pokemon and treats them more as freinds then as pets.
Kasey loves a good battle, but will only partake in one if his Pokemon want to... he doesn't like to make his freinds do things they don't want to.

Biography: Kasey was born in Goldenrod City, where he lived for most of his life with his mother and older brother, Luke. As a young boy, Kasey enjoyed exploring his surroundings and often wandered off into Ilex Forest... he'd never get lost though, Kasey was much too smart for that to happen.

Kasey's curiousity would usually get him into trouble and cause him to get confind to his room without supper. Luke loved his little brother too much to let him starve, he would always sneak Kasey some food while their mother wasn't looking.

Kasey's mother wasn't like all the other mothers in Goldenrod City, she was a bit of an outcast and often spent her time alone... either getting drunk or crying in her room.
Kasey and Luke tried not to worry too much about it and would usually just take care of themselves.

Once Luke was finally old enough he decided to go on his Pokemon Journey, which meant leaving Kasey with their unstable mother. Luke didn't want his younger brother to get hurt, so he made a few calls and got their grandparents to take care of Kasey while their mother got the help she needed.

So, Luke left to go on his Pokemon Journey and Kasey moved to Ecruteak City to live with his grandparents. He spent the rest of his young life there and finally got the care he needed and deserved.

Soon enough it was time for Kasey to start his own Pokemon Journey, he packed up his things and headed off on his way to New Bark Town.

Pokemon:
Aipom-Male: Kasey's first and favourite Pokemon, he doesn't stay inside his Poke Ball and enjoys riding on Kasey's shoulder. Kasey met Aipom in Ilex Forest while he was on his way to New Bark Town, he was being attacked by a Heracross which Kasey scared off by playing his music loudly. Aipom is a very useful part of Kasey's team, knowing such moves as; Swift, Agility and even Thunderbolt.

Bayleef-Female: Kasey recieved Bayleef from Professor Elm when she was just a Chikorita. She is a very proud and determined battler, often trying to be the centre of attention. Kasey loves her dearly as she is the main powerhouse on his team, with strong moves like; Razor Leaf, Light Screen and Body Slam.

Hitmontop-Male: Hitmontop is Kasey's laziest Pokemon and doesn't realise the great power that he holds. Hatching from an egg as a Tyrogue while in Kasey's arms, the fighting Pokemon took an immediate liking to him and has since become a strong addition to his team, honing powerful moves like; Quick Attack, Triple Kick and Detect.

Gligar-Male: The clown of Kasey's Pokemon team, he loves to play pranks on Kasey's other Pokemon and usually gets hurt in the process. Gligar actually found Kasey while he was on his way to a small town, he tripped the teenage trainer as a joke and since then they've been best friends. Despite being such a fool, Gligar has access to some pretty powerful moves... such as; Knock Off, Fury Cutter and Screech.

Sneasel-Female: Kasey's newest Pokemon, he found her lying in the middle of a path where she had been injured and was helpless. She is very moody and stubborn because Kasey hasn't had a chance to train her properly yet. Kasey isn't sure what type of moves Sneasel has to offer, but she has used Ice Punch more than once as a a form of defence.

Kasey has different coloured Poke Balls for each of his Pokemon:
Aipom has a Poke Ball that is purple on top and cream on the bottom
Bayleef has a Poke Ball that is green on top and cream on the bottom
Hitmontop has a Poke Ball that is blue on top and light brown on the bottom
Gligar has a Poke Ball that is purple on top and light blue on the bottom
Sneasel has a Poke Ball that is black on top and pink on the bottom

Other: Kasey never goes anywhere without his white iPod Mini (RETRO!) chock full of different kinds of music, playing it as loud as he can to drown out the world around him. Kasey has a song for every occasion.

RP Sample: I can't be bothered copying a sample right now, but if you have a look at some of my more recent posts in Zimvee's Kanto Region RP... then you should be able to get an idea of how I RP.

An-chan- Good job on your SU if you've never roleplayed before. I did check out your fanfics and they are rather well written to me, so you're Accepted!

Lostt- I hadn't realized that you had finished your profile! XD Anyways, nicely done, Accepted. I suppose his small amount of psychic abilities are from the many Psychic pokemon he owns, normally I would say that was unrealistic, but I guess having mostly Psychic pokemon can have an effect on you.

Lusankya- Awesome, it'd be great to have you participating in this RP, Reserved.

Kev XY- Accepted! Good sign up, and interesting Pokeballs (I just had to say that)

Name: Angel

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance: Rather tall for her age, Angel stands at 1.77m and is of a lean build. She prefers long, silver, split tailed coats and grey jeans, with a white and grey polka dotted 3/4 sleeve top. She also has a pair of silver wristbands with a unique, swirling, vine design on them.

Personality: Level-headed and calm, Angel has a demeanour that makes everyone shy away from her. She likes to be alone, prefering solitude to bustling crowds and festivals. Her pokemon are her best friends and family, sealing her own special bond with them. She's also loyal towards those who manage to get her to trust them and believes that power isn't absolutely everything.

Biography: Angel was born in Johto, Azalea town. Her mother died when she was 2 years old and she continued to live with her father, who was a gardener in the forest nearby. Later, when she was 6 years old, her father died of an unknown illness, leaving Angel to be raised by her grandparents in Blackthorn city. Tandra was also caught here just as she was leaving for Hoenn to see the professor there.

In hoenn, Angel caught Sandra almost immediately and Topaz sometime after. She participated in the contests more than winning the gym badges and wanted to train her pokemon to be more independant. Years later, Angel returned to blackthorn city to find out that her grandparents had died while she had been away and left her their sum of money and the house.

She sold the house to the gym leader, Clair, and went to Alto Mare, once again, finding out that something has happened and that Latias and Latios have been kidnapped and two people are currently trying to find and steal the sould dew. So, by her ways and her nature, she wanted to find Latias and Latios and replace them back where they belong.

Pokemon:
Species~Nickname~Gender~Summary

All of Angel's pokemon have special pokeballs made by Kurt for them.

Kyuubi-an Orange coloured pokeball all around with the japanese Kitsune or fox symbol engraved on it repeatedly.
Tandra-a sapphire coloured pokeball with an aquamarine gem encased on the top.
Husky-Husky's ball is silver with a small line of diamonds circling it.
Sandra-while chocolate in colour(yum!), when released, the japanese symbol for ground is displayed.
Rio-Rio's pokeball is a plain dark blue with black stripes due to his request.
Topaz-her pokeball is a shiny golden coloured as expected, with a small yellow topaz gem encased in the button.

Ninetales~Kyuubi~Male~Kyuubi was just a vulpix in an egg when Angel recieved him from her father, therefore sealing their bond together ever since he was born. Kyuubi is Angel's long time companion, as he has been with her longer than all the others.

Dragonair~Tandra~Female~Tandra was caught by absolute accident when Angel was fishing in blackthorn city. She did not expect a sudden Dratini to hop out of the pond attached to her old rod! Tandra also holds an everstone so she can't evolve anymore.

Honchkrow~Husky~Male~Husky was actually a prank present to Angel for her halloween party. Strangely though, in the end, he ended up nearly pecking the person that sent him to Angel in a cage to death.

Flygon~Sandra~Female~Sandra was caught nearly the same time as Tandra while as a Trapinch, so it wasn't too strange that Angel made their names almost the same.

Lucario~Rio~Male~Silent and Loyal, Rio obeys Angel without a word, therefore he's her second most loyal companion after Kyuubi. She also recieved him from egg, a chirstmas present from her grandparents.

Manectric~Topaz~Female~Topaz had been abandoned by it's previous owner in a cave full of ground type pokemon. When Angel found her, she had suffered internal damage, loss of self esteem and had an abnormal fear of digletts and dugtrios. Angel has been trying to mend the damage ever since.

Other: Unfortunately Angel cannot swim, so therefore, she needs to rely on Tandra alot when dealing with rivers, lakes and open seas.
RP Sample:
"grrrr...can this day get any worse?" Haelii muttered underneath her breath. She tucked her tail and paws underneath her even closer, away from the entrance of the small hollow she had found. Outside, the pitter-patter sounds of rain pouring down could be clearly heard. She laid her head down on a pile of moss she had collected and watched the drops of rain hit the ground. Maybe now was a good time for a nap.

Haelii sniffed the air hesitantly, making sure not to run into any savage pokemon. She had been traveling for days around the area near her home, wondering where to go next, as the condition of her home was worsening and she wanted to stop it before it degraded entirely. She had managed to find, on the eastern bordor of flare land, a dusty, old tome describing the mythology on the land around here. Deciding to act of what the tome said, she had searched the abandoned village for days on end, looking for a map to lead her to the south pole. In the end, she had to tear all of the small maps off the wall in a community hall and use those. Haelii padded towards a dense bush, staring at the plump blue berries adorning it's rim. She opened her mouth slightly to pluck one from it's branch before hesitating, 'If the berries weren't poisonous, wouldn't they have been eaten by now?' she fought a raging battle in her head between logic and hunger. Sooner or later, logic eventually won and she stepped away from the bush. Suddenly, an undersized Trapinch scrambled out and plopped onto the ground, landing at her feet. "eh? just what is a Trapinch doing out here in the middle of a volcanic ashland?" Haelii accused it. The Trapinch looked up at her with large eyes, "I can help you find the south pole" was all it said.

Once caught as Misdreavus under an old bridge, the pokemon won enough battles to make it level 42, and evolved during the stone parade in 2004, where stones are given away. It has Shadow Ball, Ominous Wind, Magical Leaf, and Screech

Gardevoir - Nick: Embrace - Female
Caught as a Kirlia in a garden, Embrace evolved after training for a special competition. Moveset is Psychic, Imprison, Double Team and Destiny Bond.

Dodrio - Nick: Strom - Male
Strom was given to Xemnas as a Doduo by a mysterious man. Strangely, on the first battle it won, it instantaneously evolved into Dodrio. Moveset is Tri Attack, Rage, Fly, and Drill Peck.

Hitmonlee - Nick: Tremis - Male
A lone Tyrogue went up to their front door and nearly died of hunger, but the family took care of it, thus Tremis became very fond and loyal to the family. It evolved after training with Minerva one day. Moveset is Mega Kick, Mega Punch, Metronome, and Leer.
Other: The Pokeballs that Xemnas keep his Pokemon in are marked with Unown letters that determine which Pokemon are in them. The letters form one word each, and all in all, the Pokeballs spell "ALL - MAY - REST - WELL"
RP Sample:

The sunlight shines bright on the statues of the Eons, and on the eyelids of Xemnas, who instantly awoke. Grabbing his school bag, and dressing in a uniform, he bolted out the house...

"Dang! I'm late!"

In his rush, he tripped on a Shellos, and whimpered in pain. Then the neighbors commented...

"Hey, Xem! What are ya doin' on a Weekend?"

"Weekend? Groan..."

And he returned home, slightly humiliated. On his return, a Pokemon materialized out of his backpack...

"Irish! What were you doing in my backpack?!"

The Mismagius merely giggled and returned home along with him. It seemed Irish knew what was going to happen. Did Embrace warn her, perhaps?

"Sigh...Saturday...So, whatcha wanna do?"

The Pokemon looked up with its mouth mumbling something. It then came to a conclusion and created an illsuion in his eyes, and pointed to a mirage of children eating by a window nearby.

"You hungry, Irish?"

It nodded.

"Okay then. I'm sure Mom, Dad and Grandma are preparing breakfast right now. What exactly do you want to eat?"

It pointed again to the window, and the children were eating fruits, like Apples and Pears...

"Good point....Gee, my stomach's rumbling, we should get home now huh?"

The ghost pointed to the grafitti on the brick wall, which said "DUH!"

Name: Scott Musgrove
Age: 15
Gender: Male
Appearance: Scott is very tall for his age, standing at 5 foot 11. He has dark brown hair which is slightly bushy and long, covering his ears but does not come paralel to his chin. He is slightly muscley but it is not visible under clothes. He has a long body and average sized limbs which are covered in slightly tanned skin. Scott usually wears a stripy, green top and blue jeans which are slightly baggy. He has bronze glasses and a necklace made from string with a Sharpedo tooth on it. he has blue, denim baseball boots and a small watch around his wrist.

When it is cold, you will normaly find him wearing what he ussualy wears, along with a long, brown coat that stops just above his knees. When it is really cold, he will wear a scarf the same as his top, green and stripy. At formal occasions, he will wear a black top and black trousers, along with a white, velvet tie. He still wears his Sharpedo Knecklace, only underneath his outfit.

Personality: Scott is very jolly and happy-go-lucky all of the time. You can always find him smiling, and will only have a frown when someone has been hurt or is in danger. He is very careful, and will go out of his way to help any one else that is in danger, may it be friends or foes. He is also fare, and think that he should only be nasty to people if they are being nasty aswell. He gets angry when others are unfair and will try and state his policy boldly and stick to it. He also doesn't like scolding his Pokemon or any one else. if he is nasty by accident, he is quick to appologize and make up for the little out-burst.

Biography: Scott grew up in Sinnoh. He was born and bred in Twinleaf Town, and had no problem living there. Despite the fact he was lonely and couldn't really socialize with any one in Town, he loved to interact with Pokemon, and was delighted when his Father brought him home a Pokemon. he had always wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer, being set an xample by his Sister, and Gym Leader, Fanita. His Father was a Scientist and worked for the famous Proffesor Rowan, and was always out on the field. His Mother was an Ex-Pokemon Coordinator, so he had plenty of encouragment and help, so his Family cheered him on, and, at the age of 13, he became a Trainer and set about Sinnoh.

Pokemon: Scotts first Pokemon was a Misdreavus. He obtained her from his Father when she was still Level 1. He trained her hard, and eventually, she evolved into a Mismagius with the aid of a dusk Stone. She had traveled everywhere with Scott, and grew an excellent bond together, always sharing memories, or just talking to each other when ever Scott was alone.

Another of Scotts Pokemon is Combee. Recived in a Trade between Scotts unloved Onix, Combee was happy with Scott, and didn't seem bothered leaving her old Trainer. They Trained well together, and always got along. Combee seemed very useful at keeping the Team full when times of hunger attacked. She is also extremly fast and skilled in battle with the little moveset she has.

Scotts last Pokemon is his Male Snover. He captured Snover in Floroama Meadow, but has always wondered what he was doing there. They made friends easily, and loved to battle together, always beating there enemies. Scott always found Snover a bit strong-powered, and sometimes disobeys what Scott says and attacks without thinking.

Other: No... Not Really.
RP Sample: This is taken from my Fave RP, Pokemon Rainbow Dreams...

Scott entered the loomy forest. beams of sunlight shone through the gaps between branches and Hoppip driffted past singing a melodic tune. "WOW!" Shouted Scott,"This place isn't that scary." boasted Scott. He opened up his Pokedex and pointed it upwards.

Welcome to the Mystifying Forest. North of Fairview town, it is a forest in perfect balance of weather. Many rare pokemon can be found here. Over 12 legendary Pokemon sightings have been registered here.

"Loads of my favirote Pokemon are here!" Said Scott eagerly. "Well you're not gonna be able to catch any, 'cause I've got a trainer to beat!" Replied Amelia smugly. they walked around for a few moments, until they found the perfect spot for a battle. Trees surrounded them in what seemed like a wall, and some Pokemon spectators peered through the trees.

"Now, let's go Turtwig!" Shouted Amelia as she through the Pokeball in the air and it seemed to explode and settle into the small Turtwig. "If I know my pokemon, turtwig is a grass type, which means poison should be good." Pondered Scott until he finnaly reached his desicion. "GO! SKORUPI!" Bellowed Scott as he to threw the Pokeball, summoning a light that gathered into a Skorupi. "Sko!" It screeched happily. "You may have the first move, Scott." exclaimed Amelia kindly. "Thankyou." Replied Scott with a smile,"Now. Skorupi, use poison sting!" commanded Scott. Skorupi dashed up to the Turtwig, piercing it in its shell. "Turtwig, use withdraw then rapid spin!" Shouted Amelia. Rapid Spin?! thought Scott with a puzzled look on his face. turtwig withdrew into his shell and began to spin very quickly. Skorupi was still attached to Turtwigs shell and was spinning around with him. Suddenly, Skorupi flew off and skidded across the ground.

"Turtwig, Bullet Seed!" Commanded Amelia. Turtwig was still spinning but was sending out bullet-like seeds in all directions. "Quick, Dodge!" Shouted Scott. Skorupi turned off his back and jumped high in the air, using his tail to propel himself. The bullets flew underneath him. "Now, poison sting again!" shouted Scott. Skorupi flew towards Turtwig, knocking him off the ground and into the air, where Turtwig came back out of his shell and landed in a bush. "Again, Skorupi!" shouted Scott. Skorupi zoomed into the Turtwig and poisoned it, eventually causing it to faint. "Excellent work, Turtwig! Return!" said Amelia with a slight hint of sadness in the tone of her voice, as a red light covvered Turtwig and sucked him back in his ball.

Any chance I can join? ^^'

Name: Gale Hana
Age: 14
Gender: Girl
Appearance: Gale dresses up the same no matter what the occasion. She wears a white t-shirt, green camo pants, black slip-ons and white bands by her hands, and occasionally she'll wear a white kitty-eared cap and even more seldomly a kitty tail to match the cap. She has sapphire-blue eyes and long and straight golden blonde hair.
Personality: Gale is what you'd least expect. She is quiet and calm overall, but she is good at tactics. She is usually cold towards most people (except when she needs something from someone), but gentle towards Pokemon of all sorts. She hates trainers who force their Pokemon to fight or use them for evil. However, Gale may sometimes act a lot tougher in battles, but that would rarely happen. She likes to look up info. on other people to learn all their strategies, which also shows her knowledge of tactics.
Biography: Gale was born in the Orre Region, much after the Shadow Pokemon invasions. She lived in Phenac City all her life, and because of that developed a love for beautiful or shiny/sparkly things. She always played with her childhood friend, Colin, and usually hung around him.

One day while the two were playing, a feral Houndoom attacked them. Gale then noticed an Eevee, which she called to. The Eevee, even though also stray, decided to come to Gale. Gale commanded it to attack the Houndoom, and eventually she scared off the Houndoom somehow. Since then, the Eevee has lived with Gale, and because of how well Gale pulled off her skills as a first-time battler, Colin told her she'd be a great trainer. Gale took it to thought and decided it'd be best for both of them. She soon moved to Ecruteak City on her own to find more Pokemon of all sorts, and eventually gained a decent party.
Pokemon: Kit: Female Glaceon; she has been with Gale since she was about 8, and has been trained well and knows many moves, one being Trump Card. She took on her owner's personality, so she is very quiet.
Rose: Female Leafeon; she was an Eevee found by Gale while walking through Pyrite Town one day. Rose is a bit shy around Pokemon or people she doesn't know, but has loads of battling experience and proves to be a decent foe.
Kaen: Female Vulpix; Given to Gale by her childhood friend Colin. Kaen was given to her more recently, so she doesn't have much experience. She likes to show herself off, seeing how she's a beautiful Vulpix and all, and can be a bit bratty.
Blithe: Male Growlithe; Also given to Gale by Colin. Blithe is friends with Kaen, and also doesn't have much experience. He is more short-tempered but cool, though.
Reanna: Female Larvitar; Was an egg given to Gale by some strange dude, so Reanna's still a baby. She knows powerful egg moves, but doesn't like to battle. She prefers watching battles instead.
Other: Gale loves to sing, and is quite good at it. She usually sings to calm her, others, and even Pokemon.
RP Sample: From Lusankya's "ReGenesis Games: Final Level" RP:

-Level 2: The Black Forest-

Shadows shrouded the startling peaceful land. In the distance, Gale heard the wind, softly making the trees sway back and forth. She turned around. The empty room with the turrets had suddenly vanished. Gale was still alone. She lay down on all fours, and began to ponder why she decided to join.

"I bet, if any other players are around, that they are looking for siblings. Or perhaps they wish to be proven as the best. Or maybe they have some other reason. But why did I join?" She closed her eyes, opening her ears to the scarce sounds around her. The whisper of the wind, the swaying of the trees, and...a flute? Gale listened closely to the flute. It was playing what seemed to be a haunting melody. Gale began weeping softly. The melody reminded her of when she alone in the real world. She stood up and tried to shake the tears off, as if wishing to...forget. Forget what had happened...

Curious about the source of the melody, Gale calmly walked in the direction, opening her ears to the continuous haunting sound. It got louder and louder as she advanced, until finally, she stopped in front of a large tree. It seemed to show its age, and also looked like the tallest tree in the entire forest. The flute, however, was still mysteriously playing. Gale swerved around, trying to see if the sound was coming in the opposite direction. But there was no doubt about it. The source was coming from that old tree. Nervously, Gale called out, "Who's there? Who's playing?" Nothing. The flute continued to play. Gale was beginning to get frightened.

"I'm not kidding! Whoever's there, come on out! You don't scare me!" The flute continued playing. By that time, Gale's entire body was shaking. She felt as if a ghost were about to come out and scare her. She looked up, hoping to find the source. Nobody. Nothing except...berries? Hanging high up in the tree were some berries. Hungry from all the wandering she had done, Gale rammed into the tree with all her might, hoping the berries would drop to the ground for her to eat. The flute still played the legato tune, not even getting messed up as Gale continuously rammed into the tree. After a few more attempts, berries fell from the tree. Gale quietly ate one, and noticed the flute was starting to become quieter and quieter. Quieter and quieter...

I hope it's OK. If you need me to change anything, just say something!

Idiot!

Can you reserve me too?

Name: Gwendolyn Aeru (she insists that people call her Gwendolyn)

Age: 13

Gender: Female

Appearance: She will never wear dresses, ever. Or so she swears. Gwendolyn ties a large plain brown square scarf on her head in a way that hides her hair, making her look like a young boy. Without the scarf, her black hair touches the middle of her neck. A police whistle hung from her neck. She wears dark blue sneakers most of the time. Gwendolyn has dull green eyes. She is about 124 centimetres tall, and yes, short for her age. Gwendolyn wears a green, collared, short sleeve shirt with a glittering star at the bottom right corner. Her brown cargo trousers touch her ankles.

If it is a cold day, Gwendolyn has a black scarf tied around her neck. She also wears a red jacket on top of her usual attire.

Gwendolyn does not like to go to formal occasions. It really isn't surprising, considering her hatred of humans. If forced to attend, she will wear what she wore when she received the invitation. That's only when she is in a good mood. In a bad mood, she will wear very old and plain clothes.

Personality: Gwendolyn has quite a lot, if not some, knowledge about almost everything under the sun, from first aid to physics and chemical reactions to the paranormal. What she never bothers to find out is the history of humans. However, she is very selfish with her knowledge, if you are not her friend. Gwendolyn has a very weird way of thinking. Imagine this scenario: a trainer and his Pokémon had a 5 metre fall from a cliff. Both lay injured, in need of help. She will help the Pokémon first, then the grass or ground beneath the two, then finally the trainer. You see, her priorities are placed on (in order of decreasing importance) friends, plants and Pokémon, then lastly, humans, no matter who really needs attention first. Gwendolyn is very careful, usually calculating and predicting her way in battle. It's one of the reasons why she carries a pocket scientific calculator. She actually couldn't care less about battling. The only reasons Gwendolyn fights seriously are a) her beloved Pokémon want to win a match badly, or b) her life (or anything equally important) is threatened. She can laugh at almost any corny joke, but she cannot make a good one.

Biography: Gwendolyn was born in Celadon City. She loves to read non-fictions very much. She just couldn't help opening any book she sees and read the index and page of contents. Gwendolyn enjoys solving mathematical problems because it's "challenging and fun". Her rich family can afford to buy books for her. Being born into a society who looked down at reading, Gwendolyn knows very well she's strange to others. Gwendolyn grew up being called all sorts of names ranging from booky (because she loved books) to weirdo and all the way back, but she doesn't feel the blame is on her. Her name is usually used by only what she calls self-respecting people. All that name-calling had made her cold towards humans. The reason Gwendolyn helps other humans is "just doing the right thing. I am not going to sink to their so-called humane levels".

She caught her first Pokémon on a fishing trip in Johto. Gwendolyn was so excited about owning a Pokémon, she spent time reading scientific books to her Remoraid. Many people thought she was crazy, but Gwendolyn couldn't care less. She knew that she can use science to her advantage at battles. Gwendolyn reckoned that if Remoraid could learn something about chemical reactions and physics, maybe the fish could pull off some of the tactics by herself when the trainer gives a tiny hint about which to use. Gwendolyn was right. Remoraid could, and she did it very well. Gwendolyn had ever since passed down scientific information to her Pokémon. She was convinced that Pokémon can learn what a human can, if given a chance, and perhaps faster too. Gwendolyn wanted to prove her theory to the world, so she set on becoming a Pokémon trainer.

Pokemon: By some coincidence, all four Pokémon have green eyes like their trainer. Gwendolyn has a strange habit to teach her Pokémon useless things during her free time. She also insisted they should learn it seriously.

Male Monferno: Gwendolyn's second Pokémon after Octillery. Gwendolyn received him as a Chimchar from her parents. Besides battling, Monferno entertains himself by juggling. Monferno is very loyal and doesn't mind putting his life on the line for his trainer. Monferno can use U-turn, Swrods Dance, Brick Break and Flare Blitz. Monferno is currently learning how to tie knots.

Male Intimidate Luxio: A very active Luxio who cannot sit still at all. He hatched from an Egg which is given to Gwendolyn at the start of her journey. Luxio is her third Pokémon. He loves a good challenge and refuses to fight anyone who cannot fight back, or those he deemed too weak. Therefore, Gwendolyn often chooses him as a last resort. Luxio knows Crunch, Spark, Ice Fang and Fire Fang. Gwendolyn taught Luxio how to call for help in morse code should there be any emergency: three short flashes followed by three long flashes, then another three short flashes (···---··· is the international distress signal SOS, and it runs continuosly without spacing). He couldn't be bothered to learn the rest of the code, though.

Female Sniper Octillery: Caught as a Remoraid, she is as curious and smart as octopi in our world. Although she is (what Gwendolyn calls a Pokémon who is skilled at shooting attacks) a cannon master, she had never use a move that involves direct contact with the opponent before. She possesses moves like Ice Beam, Gunk Shot and Flamethrower. Octillery knows the Braille alphabet by heart.

Female Magic Guard Clefairy: A prankster before being caught, she is cunning and sometimes disobeys Gwendolyn. She joined the team after Gwendolyn outsmarted her twice. She is the least experienced among the four. She has Grass Knot, Thunderbolt and Softboiled under her belt. She has an amazing ability to learn many moves, and doesn't mind trying new strategies.

Other: Gwendolyn has a Moonstone. She may reward Clefairy for good behaviour someday. Gwendolyn has a fear of heights, and has never flown before by a Pokémon.

RP Sample: Aerodactyl chased the Pidgeot instinctively. His trainer clung on tightly to the long neck for dear life. She had to remind herself that this Aerodactyl here was once the co leader of his flock. He was probably more used to order than to obey, so no amount of yelling will help. Taming a Pokémon so wild won't be easy, but if she can manage to do so, his massive power will be a great help to her team.

The Pidgeot flew as fast as it could to escape the ferocious beast. The girl felt her Aerodactyl accelerate with incomparable speed which had been perfected by countless generations since prehistoric times. She called upon her Ariados to use Constrict on Aerodactyl. The arachnid quickly covered Aerodactyl's body with spider silk in an attempt to stop it or at least slow it down. However, the strong wings broke open the silk on them easily, and powered the monster faster. Although now covered in wrappings of spider thread on the neck and body, Aerodactyl retained his speed.

"Okay, now spin as much thread as you can from here to any tree."

Ariados shot spider thread from the rear at a tree repeatedly. It seemed to work. Aerodactyl was slowing down. The girl sighed with relief. But just as she thought Aerodactyl couldn't have gone any faster, SNAP! He did, wasting Ariados's efforts by destroying the threads. The Pidgeot was getting more and more tired and flew slower. There's no time to get another Pokémon out for help. She looked at Ariados. The arachnid had something between the mandibles. It's a snack made specially for Pokémon which she had given to Ariados as a reward, but the spider had not ate it yet. The girl hurriedly grabbed it and shoved the snack into Aerodactyl's mouth.

Aerodactyl paused in surprise, distracted by his first wonderful taste of man made food his "trainer" just gave him a try of. The girl climbed to his back and started stroking the smooth and hard skin that gave the Aerodactyl a more aerodynamic body. Maybe she wasn't so bad after all. Maybe he would listen.

Sorry for the lateness.

Name: Akula Teslanova
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Appearance: Akula is slightly shorter than average, and has a fairly lightweight and delicate-looking frame. She has copious amounts of orange hair, like the color of the rising sun, which falls below her waist. She wears a small red bow to help keep her hair in line. Below her head, she wears a white long-sleeved blouse, trimmed with red, and with a large red collar and blue buttons. She keeps it tied together with a fluffy blue bow in front. Below that, she wears a short navy blue skirt trimmed with red and white, and knee-length navy blue socks ending with small black dress shoes. She wears around her neck a small sapphire jewel embedded in a golden circle on a silver chain.

Personality: Akula is a quite and shy at first appearance, and is not extremely sociable, preferring much rather to sit on the sidelines and watch other people than actually get into the action herself. Extremely intelligent and logical, she rarely misses a thing, and considers herself an excellent judge of character, although her actual skill in the subject is up for grabs. She sometimes will get slightly nervous around guys. But while she may seem to lack a real character on the outside, her good friends know her to be a fun, nice girl who loves humor and dislikes violence. Despite her niceness, she's quite cynical in her view of life. She has a slight obsession with orange juice and loves to read and perform mind puzzles.

Biography: Akula was born in a small village in the far northern region of Hoenn. Her father was presumably a legendary Pokemon trainer that fought against the trainers of Teams Magma and Aqua, but three years before she was born, he mysteriously vanished and was recorded as dead by everyone. Akula's mother died of cancer a year after she was born, and Akula was raised by her older brother, then a 15-year old. At school, she lived an average life, getting good grades with little effort but far from being popular due to her being quiet all the time. When she was eight, a band of maurading trainers approached her town, wanting to get their hands on a golden Slowking statue presumably hidden underneath their village center. When there was, of course, no Slowking statue, the trainers torched the entire village in anger. It was then that Akula's father showed up and fought off the trainers, but it was too late to save the village. After gifting her with a Pokeball and saying a few kind words of sympathy, he vanished again.. It was then that Akula decided to become a Pokemon trainer, so she could find her father and stop evil trainers like the ones who had destroyed her village.

Pokemon:
Flygon: Gale: Female
Gifted to Akula by her father as a Vibrava. Her first Pokemon, and also her prized one because of where it came from, as well as her strongest. Gale is a cheery Pokemon that loves to have fun and likes making music by buzzing her wings.
Magneton: Trinity: Male
Caught as a Magnemite that was hiding in a transformer that Akula was asked to take a look at during a short period of time where she worked as a electrician to get money for her Pokemon journey. Trinity is extremely serious and logical, and dislikes Gale's antics.
Beautifly: Whisper: Female
The third Pokemon that Akula caught as a Silcoon in Petalburg woods. Whisper is lazy and dislikes having to fight, and also has a thing for perching on people's heads.
Glaceon: Glacier : Female
Traded to Akula for her Breloom by a trainer who desperately needed a Grass-type to beat Wattson, the gym leader of Mauville. Glacier is extremely introverted, rarely showing emotion. She likes being petted, but she won't show it.

Other: None

RP Sample: (from Hybrid Chronicles)
Kite wandered through the complex, finally stopping at a location where the dome that would eventually become the courtyard was constructed. Workers swarmed over the structure, moving steel and other materials, while others were bringing in heavy materials into the half-completed dome. The fact that the scientists would have such a thing built was confusing to him. He had always assumed they didn't care for their well-being, as long as they were alive and healthy (and ready for any tests) they were perfectly content to let them live the way they did. But the construction of what was essentially a playground meant that they really cared. That is, if the playground was exactly what it appeared to be. Kite couldn't rule out the possibility of some darker, more sinister purpose to the courtyard. Maybe it was just to help them investigate hybrids in a more natural habitat, in which case it was a completely scientific construction. Or maybe it was to help placate the hybrids and make them less wanting to break out. If they already had their own mini-world, then maybe they wouldn't want the real thing.

Kite debated endlessly with himself about the true nature of the scientists running the project. But he got nowhere, instead just exploring a list of interesting possibilities, but there was no way to know which one was true. He crossed his arms across his chest, the chains clinking against each other. He was taking the leftover chains in his room and trying to forge a kind of three-fingered claw out of them, to attach to the ends of the one he used as weapons. It was hard work; changing the shape of metal was the hardest thing he could do with his magnetic powers. But it might pay off greatly. Even though rumor had it Rowan and Spencer had been remerged with harmless Pokemon due to concerns about their bullying, his gang was still wandering the halls. Even though Kite reckoned he could take them on individually, it wouldn't hurt to have some extra help. He also wondered if he should go and give Rowan some payback, but that idea never got too far. He hadn't seen Rowan since the fight, and although everyone was saying the rumor, he didn't know if it was true or not. Same with the rumor of what was going on in the basement. Remerging hybrids. Strange though. Were the scientists just testing out some newfound power, or were they running out of orphans to kidnap? Kite had heard about half a dozen versions of the same story, some saying that these remerged people were going to be released into the outside world, others saying that they were killed. Most versions just put them as being released back into the complex, although there was supposedly a lot of torture and pain involved. Kite doubted the scientists would torture hybrids for the sake or torturing them, but maybe it was to measure their physical and mental endurance as opposed to humans?

He decided to head to the medical wing to see if Ashley or Maverick were all better yet. There was a third rumor, of Serena, an Altaria hybrid, having escaped the facility. Kite did no know Serena well, she was a bouncy, floaty kind of person, anathema to Kite's own preferences. It was true she had mysteriously vanished. But had she escaped? Kite doubted it. If she had, there was sure to be some kind of retribution from the scientists, and there had been no signs of that. Yes, it was all such a peculiar business.

He walked into the medical wing. There was no sign of Ashley or Maverick, and the only concious person in the room besides himself and some non-hybrids was a girl with a Glaceon-esque tail and a hat looking like the head of a Glaceon. Why anyone would try and look more like a Pokemon was beyond him, but maybe she just liked how Glaceon looked. They were quite beautiful creatures.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???"

Kite glanced around. There was a Loudred hybrid shouting at him.

"YEAH, YOU!!!" the hybrid stalked over.

"Shut up," Kite growled at the Loudred hybrid.

"WHAT? SPEAK UP!!!" The blast of sound made Kite's ears ring, but he made no motion to reveal so.

"I said, SHUT UP!" he yelled at the hybrid, his eyes glaring and his mouth a fierce frown.

The hybrid glared at Kite for a few seconds, then stomped off to annoy some other people.

Kite shook his head and walked further into the building, the chains wrapped around his limbs clinking as he did so. People like that he just wanted to pick up and shake until they figured out what they were doing wrong.

Sorry if it's a bit bad, I've been in kind of a slump. ^^;

After gifting her with a Pokeball and saying a few kind words of sympathy, he vanished again.. It was then that Akula decided to become a Pokemon trainer, so she could find her father and stop evil trainers like the ones who had destroyed her village.

Pokemon:
Flygon: Gale: Female
Gifted to Akula by her father as a Vibrava. Her first Pokemon, and also her prized one because of where it came from, as well as her strongest. Gale is a cheery Pokemon that loves to have fun and likes making music by buzzing her wings.
Magneton: Trinity: Male
Caught as a Magnemite that was hiding in a transformer that Akula was asked to take a look at during a short period of time where she worked as a electrician to get money for her Pokemon journey. Trinity is extremely serious and logical, and dislikes Gale's antics.
Beautifly: Whisper: Female
The third Pokemon that Akula caught as a Silcoon in Petalburg woods. Whisper is lazy and dislikes having to fight, and also has a thing for perching on people's heads.
Glaceon: Glacier : Female
Traded to Akula for her Breloom by a trainer who desperately needed a Grass-type to beat Wattson, the gym leader of Mauville. Glacier is extremely introverted, rarely showing emotion. She likes being petted, but she won't show it.

Other: None

RP Sample: (from Hybrid Chronicles)
Kite wandered through the complex, finally stopping at a location where the dome that would eventually become the courtyard was constructed. Workers swarmed over the structure, moving steel and other materials, while others were bringing in heavy materials into the half-completed dome. The fact that the scientists would have such a thing built was confusing to him. He had always assumed they didn't care for their well-being, as long as they were alive and healthy (and ready for any tests) they were perfectly content to let them live the way they did. But the construction of what was essentially a playground meant that they really cared. That is, if the playground was exactly what it appeared to be. Kite couldn't rule out the possibility of some darker, more sinister purpose to the courtyard. Maybe it was just to help them investigate hybrids in a more natural habitat, in which case it was a completely scientific construction. Or maybe it was to help placate the hybrids and make them less wanting to break out. If they already had their own mini-world, then maybe they wouldn't want the real thing.

Kite debated endlessly with himself about the true nature of the scientists running the project. But he got nowhere, instead just exploring a list of interesting possibilities, but there was no way to know which one was true. He crossed his arms across his chest, the chains clinking against each other. He was taking the leftover chains in his room and trying to forge a kind of three-fingered claw out of them, to attach to the ends of the one he used as weapons. It was hard work; changing the shape of metal was the hardest thing he could do with his magnetic powers. But it might pay off greatly. Even though rumor had it Rowan and Spencer had been remerged with harmless Pokemon due to concerns about their bullying, his gang was still wandering the halls. Even though Kite reckoned he could take them on individually, it wouldn't hurt to have some extra help. He also wondered if he should go and give Rowan some payback, but that idea never got too far. He hadn't seen Rowan since the fight, and although everyone was saying the rumor, he didn't know if it was true or not. Same with the rumor of what was going on in the basement. Remerging hybrids. Strange though. Were the scientists just testing out some newfound power, or were they running out of orphans to kidnap? Kite had heard about half a dozen versions of the same story, some saying that these remerged people were going to be released into the outside world, others saying that they were killed. Most versions just put them as being released back into the complex, although there was supposedly a lot of torture and pain involved. Kite doubted the scientists would torture hybrids for the sake or torturing them, but maybe it was to measure their physical and mental endurance as opposed to humans?

He decided to head to the medical wing to see if Ashley or Maverick were all better yet. There was a third rumor, of Serena, an Altaria hybrid, having escaped the facility. Kite did no know Serena well, she was a bouncy, floaty kind of person, anathema to Kite's own preferences. It was true she had mysteriously vanished. But had she escaped? Kite doubted it. If she had, there was sure to be some kind of retribution from the scientists, and there had been no signs of that. Yes, it was all such a peculiar business.

He walked into the medical wing. There was no sign of Ashley or Maverick, and the only concious person in the room besides himself and some non-hybrids was a girl with a Glaceon-esque tail and a hat looking like the head of a Glaceon. Why anyone would try and look more like a Pokemon was beyond him, but maybe she just liked how Glaceon looked. They were quite beautiful creatures.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???"

Kite glanced around. There was a Loudred hybrid shouting at him.

"YEAH, YOU!!!" the hybrid stalked over.

"Shut up," Kite growled at the Loudred hybrid.

"WHAT? SPEAK UP!!!" The blast of sound made Kite's ears ring, but he made no motion to reveal so.

"I said, SHUT UP!" he yelled at the hybrid, his eyes glaring and his mouth a fierce frown.

The hybrid glared at Kite for a few seconds, then stomped off to annoy some other people.

Kite shook his head and walked further into the building, the chains wrapped around his limbs clinking as he did so. People like that he just wanted to pick up and shake until they figured out what they were doing wrong.

Sorry if it's a bit bad, I've been in kind of a slump. ^^;
Nice, the Flygon has the same name as my character XD *Gale's name comes from the Gamecube game, Gale of Darkness; Colin's is derived from "Colosseum"*

Anyways, it looks like there's a good crop of people here, so... I hope this'll be a success~

*slaps* Bad Latia. You stealz my font.

Just kidding...kind of. Amazing plot, btw. Good job. *applauds while watching Latia run around crying about the slap*

^^i is lazy^^
Obviously, she doesn't have the ears or tail. That would be weird.
Personality: Harper is one of those hyper, energetic girls from the city, the kind that doesn't take anything very seriously, and loves the fast-paced action of L.A. and the Big Apple (if they existed in PokeWorld...). She doesn't slow down for a second and often this gets her into trouble. Being an activist, she will do anything needed to get the two legendary Pokemon back to their rightful places, and she won't stop at anything to get there.

Harper doesn't let many people know about her past, however, and likes to live in the present, where the only problems she has to face are the ones happening right now. She often acts as the cheerleader of the group and isn't exactly clued in to social cues.
Biography: Uh...not much. Harper was born in Blackthorn City, and she loves how cold it is there, making her somewhat uncomfortable in hotter cities like Cinnabar and Mahogany (right...?) and, uhm...the rest.

She had a pretty normal childhood, kinda like 'omg, i gunna be a trainer 1 day!!!1!!1!' thing, and she trained in the Dragon's Den, giving her a love of Dragon Pokemon and role model of Clair (remember her...? Blackthorn City gym leader, hell yeah! Favoritest ever.). She had to journey all the way to New Bark Town to get a Pokemon, but once she did, she was fine. Going down to New Bark Town was kinda long, but she had her friend Aaron at her side (guess who...yeah, so un-original) and they were okay...since he had Pokemon and all.

Harper's goal now is to help the legendary Pokemon. Before she knew about that, it was basically 'get ooooober-strong pkmn n beet elite 16, oh yeh' but now she's not so sure. She thinks she might want to be a shiny hunter or a Pokemon researcher. She's still thinking.
Pokemon:
Quilava lv. 28
Obtained by: Starter Pokemon
Experience Level: Better-than-Average
Gender: male
Nickname: Marashi
Personality: Marashi is a sweet-natured, lovable Pokemon, kinda like a dog, to Harper. They're very in tune and sometimes Marashi knows what Harper would like him to use before she tells him to use it. This is why Marashi is often Harper's first-choice battler. He absolutely adores her and is nice to nearly everyone he meets.

Wobbuffet lv. 23
Obtained by: Trade for a Pidgeotto
Experience Level: Average
Gender: male
Nickname: Sonansu
Personality: Sonansu is your average Wobbuffet - not the sharpest tack in the drawer. However, Harper loves him just as he is and tries to double-battle with him a lot to get his experience up. She doesn't like using Counter and such, so it's hard, but Sonansu tries his best and his best often happens to be pretty good. So it's kewl.

Larvitar lv. 21
Obtained by: Wild-Catch
Experience Level: Slightly-Better-than-Average
Gender: male
Nickname: Rasu
Personality: Rasu is as hyper as Harper herself, and often copies her gestures, her jumping-up-in-the-air-randomly's, and other stuff like that. He secretly wishes to be Marashi so that he'll get used as much as him, but he doesn't know that Harper loves him just as much. It's impossible to hate Rasu.

Ariados lv. 27
Obtained by: Wild-Catch as Spinarak
Experience Level: Very Experienced
Gender: male
Nickname: Raitoko
Personality: Raitoko is just your average giant spider...everyone's afraid of him and he doesn't even do anything except sit there and look awesome. He loves that Harper doesn't mind him being a spider, and thinks she's pretty cool for letting him into the team and not going 'eww, spider!' like everyone else does when she lets him out. He often double-battles with Marashi.

Skarmory lv. 25:
Obtained by: Prize from a Contest
Experience Level: Better-than-Average
Gender: male
Nickname: Eamudo
Personality: Eamudo is, like all of Harper's Pokemon, a happy, couldn't-care-less Pokemon that enjoys toting Harper and her friends around. Being a huge steel bird he doesn't care that there may be sixteen different people on him at a time...the more the merrier, he always says (lol). Eamudo used to be kept in a PokeBall for, like, ever, until Harper came along and won the contest - cuz she's that awesome. Yeah.

Sneasel lv. 30
Obtained by: Helper Pokemon
Experience Level: Very Experienced
Gender: male (cuz the feathers are longer on the male, and that's best xP)
Nickname: Nyura
Personality: Nyura is the quiet one of the group, not interacting too much but standing there with a smirk eternally on his dark face. He accounts for the entire group's happiness and is the emo, somewhat-violent one. But he still likes Harper, cuz Pokemon work better that way. Nyah.

Other: "Joe is allergic to pollen."
OHMIGAWD, THAT WAS GREAT!!! *falls over laughing*

Okay, maybe not that great...

Anyway. None. Yup, none.
RP Sample: Does RPing with me in Regenesis count? You know how I RP XD

ps: I put all the levels in cuz I thought it would be better for me, at least. I do better when seeing a Pokemon's level, for some reason. I know what it can and can't do. I won't refer to leveling up or anything in the roleplay, just here xP

p.p.s: SIGN UPS ARE CLOSED? SRSLY?

Ratiosu- Yah, I stole your font, and I think I'll probably keep it...for another few weeks, then I'll be moving on to another font. I just finished with Helvetica. And no, I'm not crying, in fact, I'm laughing at your pathetically weak slap (just kidding.) Anyways, I can't possibly say no to your sign up, can I? It's really very nicely done, okay, having said that, you're Accepted!

Okay, here's my character:

Name: Cadence Altilago
Age: 15
Gender: Female
Appearance: Cadence could be considered fairly tall, standing at 5'5, with a slim build. She has straight, black-brown hair reaching down to her mid back with one thick streak of copper in it, which she normally wears down, though when she needs it out of her way, she ties it up in a ponytail, and her eyes are grey-green, she couldn't be considered beautiful, but there is definitely something almost otherworldly about her. Cadence normally wears tan camo shorts, which reach to just above her knees, and a black tank top underneath a gray zip-up hoodie. When the weather becomes warmer, she removes the hoodie and ties it around her waist, so that its accessible and so that she doesn't have to lug around something to carry it in. In colder weather, she wears a heavier jacket instead of the hoodie, which she may wear under the jacket if the weather calls for it, and replaces the tank top with a long sleeved shirt, and the shorts with gray, lived in jeans. On more formal occasions, Cadence wears a sleek, sleeveless, blue-gray dress which falls to her knees, and silver sandals with a very low heel, due to that fact that she would tip over otherwise.

Personality: Cadence is a quiet, solitary girl who usually likes to do things on her own, without help or assistance from others. She also can be somewhat withdrawn, never giving out much information, even if she doesn't really have that much of a reason keep to herself so much. However, she makes up for that with her brains, Cadence is extremely intelligent, and much of her battle skills revolve around using good strategy rather than brute strength and powerful attacks. For example, instead of pelting opponents with powerful, but easily dodged attacks, she uses less powerful attacks in various combinations in a way so that the opponent is unable to dodge, or has a smaller chance of dodging. Even if she's smart, usually people don't see it, its not like she acts stupid or anything, but she doesn't reveal her intelligence, and her reasons for that are...well, there really isn't any, its just her. Most times, Cadence is pretty calm, not really getting excited about trivial things, and not scared often either. She also rarely gets angry, though when she does, it's not a good idea to hang around, better if you leave and wait until she cools down somewhat.

Biography: As a child Cadence’s life wasn’t very much out of the ordinary, in fact, it was rather unremarkable. Though she was an only child, her parents didn’t have much time to spend with her, they both worked for the Devon Corporation and were currently assigned to the daunting and tedious task of updating the PokeNav and Pokedex with the latest information about Pokemon, which undoubtedly took up much of their time. As a result, Cadence mainly took care of herself, a neighbor stayed with her during the day when she was younger, though as she grew older her time was spent skateboarding or playing basketball with her friends, or maybe doing schoolwork (not for fun, obviously.) The ironic thing is, back then, she didn’t really think much for Pokemon, now, she doesn’t think she could live without them. She knew they existed, but didn’t really care for them until she was ten, when she rescued a stray Mareep from a gang of bullies, who were teasing it, poking it with sticks and tossing stones at it. That particular Mareep is what eventually influenced her to become a Pokemon Trainer, by then, they were already an inseparable twosome, and started their journey together. She is currently in Alto Mare to watch the Pokemon race through the canals.

Pokemon:

Ampharos/Female/Blixt- Very experienced Ampharos who is Cadence’s strongest and most faithful Pokemon and friend. Blixt was rescued from bullies by Cadence, and since then they have become more or less inseparable. Her name comes from the Swedish word for lightning (No, I am not Swedish, nor to I know any other Swedish words.)
Typhlosion/Male/Aragon- Experienced Typhlosion who was Cadence’s second Pokemon. Aragon was captured in the forest, oddly enough, and is one of the most serious battlers on Cadence’s team. Aragon’s name comes from the first half of the stone Aragonite.
Buizel/Male/Ray- Is somewhat weaker than the other Pokemon on Cadence’s team, but its speed outstrips most Pokemon. The most spirited fighter on Cadence’s team, he is a good sport, but not extremely friendly. His only true loyalty is to her trainer, Cadence, in this case, and was caught after having been released by his trainer due to his less than average strength.
Togetic/Female/Grace- Grace fits her name, being a graceful Pokemon. She is extremely friendly and what some might call “pure of heart.” Though she, like any other Pokemon, enjoys to win, she has never been known to show bitterness after a loss. She is an above average battler, and fights exceptionally well in the air, though on the ground she is rather less coordinated. She has yet to evolve because Cadence hasn’t found a Shiny Stone yet.
Other: ….don’t think so
RP Sample: Aw, come on, the owner needs to provide one?

乚☆丁工回己❀- No, it's good, you're Accepted

However, your pokemon will have access to every move that it learns naturally in addition to three TM moves, so you don't need to do a moveset, except you should keep track of your TM move (that applies to everyone)
Okay, let's start, I feel like I've been putting this off (which I wasn't, but don't comment anyways)

You are either sitting in your room staring out of the window, or walking outside on the street at night, when you see two dark silhouettes moving against the moon. They leap from rooftop to rooftop, and seem to be heading towards the center of the city. Curious, you follow, keeping your eyes on the two people as they move silently across the rooftops. They look around every few minutes, but don't see you, after a while, they begin moving more hurriedly towards the center of the city, towards, you notice, the beautiful garden in the center of Alto Mare. However, you aren't the only one, at the same time as you head towards the garden, black-clad people are moving through the narrow streets, they seem to be keeping watch....

You either....

Follow the two people on the rooftops to the garden or run into one of the people dressed in black, who will likely challenge you to a battle, or worse, blindfold, gag, and bind you in ropes, rendering you immobile, and leave you there, your best hope of getting free being having a citizen of the city find you.

But be careful of the many canals, its more than easy to get lost in this city, and at night, strange things can happen.

Looking up at the night sky the night breeze ruffling his hair Drake watches the night sky amazed at how clear it is compared to other cities he's been too. he leans against a building one leg raised with his foot resting on the building with his hands in his pockets, as he's watching the stars two figures catch his attention, he can't make out what they look like or what they're up too but deciding to investigate he begins following them.

After a few city blocks Drake having not taking many right turns he finds himself at a dead end, Something suddenly bursts out of the shadows tackling him "Absol... You really enjoy trying to scare me don't you?" he says with a it of a smirk causing the Absol to give him an innocent look as if to say "Who me?" making him chuckle but he stops suddenly... He suddenly feels like they aren't alone. Absol quickly lets Drake up.

Without even saying a word the new person tosses a poke ball out revealing his pokemon. Light shines from the ball as an Electabuzz stands before Drake and Absol, to which Absol moves in front of Drake growling deeply "Electabuzz, Cross chop." The figure says with a smug confidence "Absol.... Show this scrub you're not a push over.... Double Team.." Absol nods moving faster, several images of herself appearing around the area confusing the electric pokemon and angering it slightly, bringing both of it's hands down it strikes.... Air as the illusion disappears "Electabuzz, SHOCK WAVE!" Before Drake and Absol could react the Electabuzz lets out a huge burst of electricity Hitting absol tossing her back into a wall "Absol! Can you stand?" drake shouts asking. Weakly the Absol replies as she staggers out. "Heh Electabuzz, Finish that weakling, thunderpunch." the thug orders, Electabuzz moves fast as arcs of electricity spark around it's fist "Absol double team." Drake commands With the same result as last time it was done "That trick again? Shock Wave." The thug replies causing Drake to smirk "Absol SUCKER PUNCH!" (I think I'll stop there for now, I hope it was good.)

Quin has just decided she likes the city of Alto Mare. She is taking a little night promenade with her Skitty, Audrey. Both Quin and Audrey have always liked walking around during the night. Moreover, you can't really roam the busy streets with a small Skitty when it's the rush hour.
As Quin and Audrey walk, they notice a ladder leading up to a roof. Since Quin is on her journey for the sole purpose of gaining all sorts of experiences so she could be a writer one day, she decides to climb up, on the roof. Audrey hops on her back and so she climbs up the ladder.

When she gets up, Audrey jumps down from her back. Suddently, she turns around sharply and stares behind Quin, towards the moon. As Quin turns around, she sees two silhouettes moving along the rooftops. It's too dark to see whether the two figures are male or female. Quin squints and tries to see better. Audrey seems to be very nervous, as she is trembling and growling with a low, faint voice.

"Leave them be, Audrey", says Quin, trying to sound calming when she actually is very nervous herself. "Maybe they're chimney sweepers."
Audrey lifts her little, light brown face and gives Quin a blaming expression. Quin sighs, checks that the balls of her four other Pokémon are still safely attached to her belt. She stands there wavering. Should she follow the suspicious figures or just go down and pretend nothing ever happened? She knows they're not chimney sweepers but they still might be decent people.

Suddently the two figures stop and look around. Quin gets startled and crouches so that they can't see her. She watches as the two figures get further away from her and Audrey. After a few seconds, she takes a swift look at Audrey. The Skitty is staring at her with the most accusatory facial expression a cute Pokémon like her can make. Quin shighs again, smiles faintly and pats Audrey's head.

"All right, we'll go after them. After all, this, if something, is an experience!" she tells the Pokémon. "Unfortunately you're not very agile so I'm going to have to call you back in the ball."

Audrey nods and vanishes into the ball in a red light. Quin takes another ball off her belt.
"I think you can help me, Luffy", Quin says silently as she pushes the button on the ball and a Jumpluff appears. He seems to understand he's not out to play. Quin briefly explains the situation to Luffy and the two start following the figures along the rooftops.

Soon they have vanished into the night, too.

*changes font to make a point*

LOL...didn't work, I guess.

Nyah. *sticks out tongue*

-------------
Harper was normally one for adventures. But tonight, when she saw the two figures along the rooftops, she thought This is where the best adventure of all begins. This is where something happens to me, finally. She didn't know how she knew, she just knew she knew. Which didn't make a lot of sense, but anyway...

"All right," she whispered to herself, "let's do this. They don't look very innocent."

She didn't have any of her Pokemon out. Nighttime was the time when they, like her, happened to be sleeping, except she wasn't sleeping because she'd been too busy thinking. Thinking about Aaron, again. Her best friend, but also her crush. She hadn't known until her 14th birthday, a year ago, when he came to her birthday party, and she looked at him and felt something different than friendship. He was practically an adult, almost 17 and a half now, and she was just a boring 15 year old. Or 15 year young, as she liked to say...but that wasn't the point.

So she'd been thinking about him and why he did what he did to her, made her all nervous when he was around her and couldn't think of what to say, or, rather, the weird things she did say...when he talked to her, all she could really think of to say was 'Can I eat your shirt?' or something equally un-related to the topic, and crazy-sounding at that.

Now she was in Altomare, after having somewhat of a small adventure with her Pokemon team she'd built up. She was raised in Blackthorn, and her heart would always belong to that city, but now she was in a strange, different part of the world, somewhere below Johto and next to Kanto, and she felt somewhat homesick. Aaron, though, lived in Sinnoh, and she knew that if ever they were to be together (Ha, she thought, yeah right.), she'd have to learn not to be so homesick. Well, she figured, at least she'd have Aaron there and it would make things better.

But she didn't even know if he felt the same. So she'd come out here to sort things out, and that's when she'd seen the people leaping from rooftop to rooftop, thinking, Okay, they can jump REALLY far, that's like 20 feet or something, but then remembering that in all the movies she'd watched the villians had been able to do that. Figures.

"Time to go," she whispered, and followed on the ground, making sure to always keep the two in sight.

Five seconds later...

"Dammit," she said quietly as she sat there in the canal she'd fallen into. "Oh well, maybe this can help me." She climbed out of the canal and followed the two again, keeping the canal always in sight. When the two disappeared through something - she couldn't tell what - she noticed that there was a tunnel leading through the canal she'd kept in her sights.

"Hmm..." Harper slipped into the water and then noticed she wouldn't be able to with some of the clothes she was wearing. She took off her black boots, Ugg-look-alikes with little fuzzy balls swinging around from the top, and set them next to the canal, below the bridge that was above it, so they were out of sight, and then stripped to her tanktop and shorts. She still couldn't swim very well, but she was not going to go skinny-dipping, that might be a little alarming to someone walking by (not that many people were in the middle of the night), and when she found the two, she did not want to be naked.

Like, ewww.

So she disappeared into the tunnel, thinking maybe she heard something behind her, someone following, but maybe not...

OOC: This is where another character can come in, you don't have to though, it's just a supply for a good entrance. XD

And yes, Harper will chase a guy in here, most likely. All my happy, hyper characters do (they're all like me in that sense xP). Parker or Kasey, she'll choose which one eventually. Not saying their feelings will be reciprocated (who knew I knew that word?) but she doesn't care.

We're both awesome like that XD

If she chooses Parker, she'll probably try and get him happy, kinda like Tanpopo in Imadoki, like 'GOOD MORNING SUNSHINE!' and stuff like that. If it's Kasey, she'll be like 'HE-LLO, I LIKE YOU, WAKE UP!!"

Romance is always part of my RPs, didn't ya know? XD

C U R R E N T L Y . . .

You are either sitting in your room staring out of the window, or walking outside on the street at night, when you see two dark silhouettes moving against the moon. They leap from rooftop to rooftop, and seem to be heading towards the center of the city. Curious, you follow, keeping your eyes on the two people as they move silently across the rooftops. They look around every few minutes, but don't see you, after a while, they begin moving more hurriedly towards the center of the city, towards, you notice, the beautiful garden in the center of Alto Mare. However, you aren't the only one, at the same time as you head towards the garden, black-clad people are moving through the narrow streets, they seem to be keeping watch....

You either....

Follow the two people on the rooftops to the garden or run into one of the people dressed in black, who will likely challenge you to a battle, or worse, blindfold, gag, and bind you in ropes, rendering you immobile, and leave you there, your best hope of getting free being having a citizen of the city find you.

But be careful of the many canals, its more than easy to get lost in this city, and at night, strange things can happen.

Night. A strange time of day. Where almost everything is pitch-black, except for the remainder of lights within the rooms of others. Anyways, it was the perfect time for a walk. After all, this land was...peaceful. Or so it seemed. No one really attacked others at night, and it was too busy in the day, so a walk in the glistening moon was the perfect opportunity...

Or so Gale thought. She had just sat down after walking for almost a half hour. She kept her Pokemon in their balls, and made sure they were hidden. Although she was a more-than-decent trainer, she still didn't want people to know she had Pokemon, just in case they tried to attack her for them. They weren't the kinds you saw in this area, really.

Staring up at the gorgeous crescent moon, Gale suddenly noticed two figures shrouded in darkness leap in front of that incredible moon. Following their movements, Gale noticed them leaping from one building to the next. Curious as to see where they were going (and why they preferred doing it this way), she began following them into what she would call "limbo". She didn't know where she'd end up, and how to return...

A garden. The most tranquil garden in all of Alto Mare. Gazing upon its beauty, Gale couldn't seem to locate where the two shadows from earlier had come from. But, seeing how she was already in the garden, she pulled out a coin of some sort, and threw it into the fountain, making a wish. Her wish was, of course, personal, but it really didn't matter now, did it? The two figures soon came into sight again, and Gale was prepared to chase after them into the darkest of night...

(Hope that was an OK beginning post.)

A breeze blew southwestern, ruffling the folds of Angel's coat. Next to her, Husky, her honchkrow, shuffled against the wind. "sense anything, Husky?" she asked. Husky crowed softly, an almost definite yes. She turned her head, "north, south, west, east or central?" Husky pointed his beak towards a giant tower in the distance near the centre of Alto mare. Two dancing figures leap from roof-top to roof-top, swiftly and silently making their way through the city. She stayed as still as possible, never taking her eyes off the figures. The two were heading for a nearby destination, as their pace was certain. She stood up, the wind blew softly on her own roof-top. She held out her arm, "come on, Husky, we better see what they're up to," she whispered. Husky nodded his head in understanding.

Husky was a silent flyer, like most honchkrows, and they flew fast through the night. That was a good thing, the bad thing was, that they had lost the figures long ago but were certain they were around here. "time to land Husky, no use in flying around aimlessly and losing energy" she commanded. "yeep!" cried Husky, Angel knew that sound very well, Husky's wings had just locked up, what's worse? They were right on top of a canal. "go, Tandra!" she called out desperately, throwing the pokeball she thought was Tandra's. Trying to find pokeballs at night were a very big hassle. A red beam shot out from the pokeball and re-formed on the canal, Angel landing on top of it. "Draaa..." tandra cried softly to her, craning it's elegant neck back. Husky fluttered softly above their heads, cooing endlessly. The sound of pounding footsteps upon concrete reached their ears, apparently, the noise they had caused upon landing in the canal had warned others of their presence. A man clad in black reached within the seeing range of their eyes and immediately sent out a rather grotesque looking skuntank. "who are you and what do you want?!" he yelled brutally. Angel stared at him, willing him to know that she didn't want anything to do with him. Unfortunately, only her pokemon seemed to know what she was thinking. He ordered his pokemon to attack.

The battle didn't last for too long. Two against one was a very good advantage, both Tandra and Husky had been in many double battles and the man wasn't exactly an expert in battling against two pokemon. Angel sighed, 'that had been a complete waste of her time' she unclasped a pokeball from her belt, "in you go, Tandra, if the need arises, you won't be able to escape fast enough on land" she consoled, returnign Tandra and clasping it back on her belt. She instead reached for another pokeball and released it, "go, Rio" she said silently, her lucario popping out shortly. "let's go, we have all night to find the two silhouettes I saw, so don't miss anything" she ordered Husky and Rio. They both nodded, following her closely and searching for any clues as they wandered around the area. A distant clock tower read the time, 02:27am...

Cadence Atilago

"Shh...Blixt, look at the stars..." Cadence whispered quietly to the Ampharos standing beside her. The Ampharos, evidently named Blixt, seemed to sigh softly.

"Ampharos..." She seemed to be enchanted by something in the sky, and it was a short while before Cadence realized what Blixt was looking at was not in fact the stars, but two figures, sillhouetted against the moon. Immediately upon catching sight of them, Cadence felt the urge to follow. Funny how she had always been like that.

"Come on, let's check it out!" Cadence said in a hushed tone, and Blixt nodded silently in agreement. Without further hesitation, they followed the path of the figure, occsionally losing them as they turned down alleys. They're heading for the center of the city...Cadence noticed, as she barely avoided walking into a wall. Then the figures disappeared into the night. Oh well, she knew where they were headed, she just had to move towards the center of the city. Towards...the Garden of Alto Mare.

"That place?" She said out loud, true, it was a beautiful place, but why would anyone want to go there at night. Maybe they just liked the dark, she didn't know, either way, she couldn't resist turning again to head towards the center of the city.

"Pharos!" Ampharos murmured, as a dim glow lit the area behind Cadence. Startled, she turned around to see Blixt holding the round orb on its tail between the Pokemon's two paws, it was giving off a dim glow, and apparently Blixt intended to use it like a lanturn of some sort. Blixt walked in front of Cadence, lighting up a small area of the streets in front of them.

It was all very quiet, no noise except for the sound of their footsteps, which seemed to be magnified in the silence, and therefore, Cadence and Blixt were nearly startled to death when suddenly, classical music seemed to be drifting out of the second window of a building. Who played classical music in the middle of the night. Weird people, that's who.

"Ampharos!" Blixt cried suddenly, slipping, and, Cadence noted with alarm, falling towards the dark, rippling surface of one of the many canals in this city. Blixt hit the water with a echoing splash as Cadence ran forward, kneeling on the narrow walkway and extending her hand as Blixt surfaced. Though Blixt did, in fact, know how to swim, it hadn't been prepared for this, and panicked with the shock of hitting the cold water and having it close over her head. As a result, the Ampharos could only splash helplessly as Cadence managed to grip onto its paw and pull it slowly towards the shore.

At last, Blixt had regained some control, and helped by paddling towards the shore with its tail, and they sat on the walkway for a while, listening to the classical music that was still coming from that one apartment, or hotel room, maybe. A few minutes passed in near silence, where the only noises were Cadence and Blixt's breathing, and the classical music. Finally, Cadence stood up again.

"Want to return to our room?" She asked, expecting a firm nod. What she hadn't prepared for was Blixt's quick shake of her head. Without wasting any more time, Blixt headed forward again, leaving Cadence with no choice but to follow.

Idiot!

Gwendolyn wandered alone in the streets of Alto Mare. In total silence, she could only hear her own footsteps. She saw many water canals here and there. The city definitely lived up to its name: the City of Water. The water was crystal clear, and one's reflections can be seen. Gwendolyn stared at the reflected scenery of the sky. The crescent moon was breathtaking. A movement caught her eye. Two figures gracefully moved from rooftop to rooftop, against the moon. Gwendolyn turned to look at the real silhouttes. They are most likely thieves to be on rooftops at night, Gwendolyn thought. Humans are none of my business. Let them be. She couldn't care if they slipped and fell. Gwendolyn kept on walking for some time.

"Just where do you think you are going?" A voice demanded in front of her.

A Glalie stared at her out of the dark, its trainer behind it. Its piercing eyes showed no mercy. Gwendolyn, who will not fight unless necessary, backed off and tried to run in the opposite direction. She found out there is absolutely no way of escaping at all. That ice demon of a Glalie had used Block. She had no choice but to send in a Pokémon.

"Clefairy, nine point eight." Gwendolyn called Clefairy into battle. Nine point eight is the command for Clefairy to use Gravity because that is the value of a normal gravitational acceleration on earth in the unit metres per square second. The area within Clefairy's line of sight darkened as Clefairy unleashed.

Glalie hovered towards Clefairy. It stared at her with curiosity, then with eyes of a bully. Glalie rudely knocked Clefairy to the ground with its body. Clefairy stood up, not really hurt. Glalie gave her another shove and hovered back to keep its distance. Clefairy got up again, with anger in her eyes. Gwendolyn observed the opponent's strange behaviour, and wondered why it did that. She decided to ignore it, and commanded Clefairy to use Grass Knot. Her eyes glowed.

"Glalie, Blizzard." the mysterious trainer ordered. A gust of snow and ice blew towards Clefairy's way. The wind blew and blew. Accumulated ice and snow crushed Clefairy. Glalie finally stopped. Clefairy emerged from the freezing pile, shivering with cold but a fuming expression was clear in her eyes.

"Clefairy, reflections." Gwendolyn wanted her Clefairy to recover from the strong Blizzard with Moonlight. Why use Softboiled when Clefairy can harness the reflection from the moon? To her surprise, Clefairy did nothing.

"Softboiled, then." Gwendolyn tried to get Clefairy to use another healing move. Clefairy did nothing again. Gwendolyn looked at the Clefairy. There was an urge to damage Glalie in the Pokémon's eyes. Gwendolyn realised that Glalie didn't knock Clefairy down for fun. It was using Taunt. Never mind, Gwendolyn thought. She would just switch.

Glalie sent another chilling Blizzard towards Clefairy. At the last possible moment, Gwendolyn withdrew Clefairy and switched in Monferno. The monkey took the blow. Snow and ice piled up on him. When the snowstorm subsided, there was an ice statue. Monferno was frozen.

As Absol brings her foreleg up jamming her clawed paw into the Electabuzz, the Electabuzz was jamming his fist into her, causing both to and slowly fall before Absol catches herself, the white fur ruffled badly while she stands there panting heavily but victorious, atleast against the thug's first pokemon. after that the thug recalls his pokemon and runs off while Drake tends to his absol "You know, if you'd let me put you in a poke ball I could get you to a pokemon center faster..." he says spraying a potion onto the pokemon's various wounds. Absol manages to give him one of those looks that could mean one thing and a look as if he just said he was the King of Spain.(Short post today, not alot of time for a longer one. I'll try and make a better one next time.)

Cadence Atilago

"What do you think you're doing?" A voice asked rudely from the darkness, and Cadence took a moment to try and spot whoever was speaking to her. A strange man, dressed entirely in black and with a black hood-like thing covering most of his face stared mockingly back at her. His lips parted in a rather mean grin, revealing perfectly straight, white teeth, but that wasn't the point.

Cadence backed off several steps, and the man leered at her.

"Sorry, but I can't let ya go any farther." He said simply, waving his hand in the air in some sort of odd gesture, was it supposed to mean something? Or was it just some crazy thing that he did. Either way, Cadence began to grow suspicious.

"Why not?" She asked, rather more boldly than she normally would have.

"And don't think I'm gonna tell ya that. 'Cause I ain't givin' anythin' away." The man replied in an amused tone, annoying Cadence. The not so serious part of her protested indignantly, that's an insult to my intelligence. Yeah, that would really get her out of any trouble. Meanwhile, the more serious part of her said, well then, I'll just have to find out myself then.

"Get out of the way." Cadence muttered. Maybe she'd save herself some trouble and go another way, but the man didn't seem to want it to happen. They were in a narrow alleyway, no houses or windows here.

The man glowered at her, "if ya ain't gonna listen then I'll just have to do it the hard way. Go, Houndoom!" A dog like Pokemon appeared in a red glow of light, though only its outline was visable in the darkness.

"Houndoom, huh? Well, to save the trouble, let's do this, Blixt!"

"Pharos!" Blixt stepped forward, a challenging stare in its eyes. The Houndoom's eyes glowed bright red in the darkness, the only part of it visable in the blackness. This wasn't a good place for a battle, in the tight space, dodging was difficult and any attack was almost sure to hit.

"Ampharos, Power Gem!" She commanded.

Ampharos quickly responded, attacking with a shimmering ray of light, it was hard to believe that this, a rock type move, could be super effective on Houndoom. Apparently, the opponent wasn't very smart, because he didn't tell his Pokemon to counter, rather, he stood there helplessly as Houndoom was hit.

Maybe this would be easier than she thought...

I have to change the tense, I simply can't write in present tense -_- I'm very sorry, I hope this doesn't bother anyone...

Quin had some serious problems with following the two persons up on the roofs. They seemed to know what they were doing while Quin simply had no idea. Alto Mare was a serious maze of streets and canals, leaving gaps right where Quin wanted to go. They were just barely too wide for her to jump over, so it annoyed her considerably. Luffy the Jumpluff was too light to carry Quin, so she had to use detours more than often. Soon enough she was ready to give up.

"Why am I chasing after them?" she asked out loud while trying to climb over an extraordinarily steep roof. She was already out of breath, but she still kept jogging after the two suspicious silhouettes. Luffy came back to check on her again. He seemed impatient.

"Can't we give up or something?" Quin huffed to him. He stared at her without any change of expression. He knew Quin well enough to tell that she would regret not following the suspicious pair.
"Right, I know", Quin mumbled and jumped over a narrow gap. When she landed, her foot slipped and she slid backwards. She wasn't able to get a hold of the eave, so she fell from the roof, letting out a horribly loud shriek. Oh, please let it be a canal beneath me, she thought right before she hit the surface of the cold water. A huge splash echoed on the silent streets.

When she came back up, she saw that a couple of windows nearby had lit up. She had woken up the peaceful citizens. She felt embarassed about following the two characters against all common sense. Luffy was slowly ascending from the sky, shaking his head now that he saw Quin was unharmed. While Quin was bathing in self-pity, a voice came from somewhere.

"Who's there? Are you all right?"

Quin swiftly looked around, trying to determine whether the voice was hostile or not. She noticed a figure standing next to a corner of a house. She gulped.

"I... I'm all right, I guess", she said with a shivering voice. She gulped again. Who was this person? Was it a friendly citizen or some scary burglar or something? SHe gasped when she realized this person could have something to do with the two people up on the roofs...

Akula was sitting on a rooftop of one of the many buildings of Alto Mare, gazing up at the stars of the night sky. A light breeze brushed at her body, causing her long hair to flutter in front of her face. Delicately, she took the strands of hair and tucked them behind her ear.

Alto Mare was a middle-sized city, far from the sprawling metropolises of Johto or Kanto, but also much larger than the village where Akula had grown up. Yet it was suprisingly dark, even this early in the night. Hundreds of thousands of stars dotted the night sky like gems sparkling on a black canvas, but it was still nothing compared to what Akula remembered from her childhood. In her village, a tiny town where most people got by through farming, one could see millions of stars, where the Milky Way sprawled across the inky darkness "like spilled milk", like her brother used to say, or in her opinion, more like tiny powder of a crushed diamond that had been smeared across the black canvas of the heavens.

Until the flames consumed it.

Blocking out the memory, Akula whispered to her Beautifly, "Isn't it beautiful?" Whisper was perched upon her head, cooing softly, not even looking up at the heavens above. Akula gave a small smiled and reached up to stroke the Beautifly's head with a single finger. Maybe she should let out her other Pokemon too, although the motel owner was rather opposed to having Gale on his roof. He reckoned that a Pokemon that size might damage the building with its weight. Akula thought otherwise, but it was pointless arguing.

Whisper gave a questioning coo, and Akula felt her shift her weight upon her head. Glancing up, she saw that Whisper was looking at something far in the distance. Glancing in the general direction, she spotted two sihlouttes, clearly outlined against the crescent moon. But for just a second, for they quickly moved, hopping across rooftops with suprising agility.

Akula stood up and recalled Whisper back into her Pokeball. What were two people, all clad in black, doing moving across rooftops at this time of day? The only reason she could think of were that they were criminals, or doing something that certainly wouldn't be appreciated by the population of Alto Mare.

Curious, she decided to follow the two, and clambered onto a nearby rooftop. She had never realized before just how densly packed the city was, and how easy it was to leap from one building to the next. She followed the two as best she could, but they were faster than she was. Obviously they had more practice in this kind of thing. Very soon she lost sight of them.

Panting for breath, she sat down on the roof she had ended up on and looked down at the ground. Well that had been entirely pointless. At least she got some exercise. It was really probably time to head back to her motel room and get some sleep. But that was easier said than done, she had lost track of her location. A tapping sound was coming from behind her, but she paid no attention from it.

Without warning, she felt something strike her stomach and knock the wind out of her. Akula fell over on the ground, gasping for breath that wouldn't come. Above her stood a figure, completely black. It looked like the ones she had been following. How...

The other figure approached, leaping off a rooftop to land perfectly on the one they were on. "What do we do with her?" the one who had punched her in the stomach asked the other.

"Bind her and leave her here," the other answered. Akula froze. Yep, these two were definitely criminals of some sort. She inwardly cursed herself for being so foolish as to let them sneak up on her like that. They hadn't been particularly quiet either; through hindsight, she remembered hearing a tapping noise that had been the man's footsteps.

"Espeon, psybeam!" She heard the distinctive sound of a Pokemon being released from its ball and saw the red light glow reflect off the rooftop. Within seconds her body was suddenly glowing with rainbow energy, and pain wracked through her. She screamed, the sound slicing clearly through the quiet night.

One of the two men swore, and she felt a cloth that tasted of Diet Dr. Pepper being forced into her mouth, cutting off her scream. She reached for the Pokeballs on her belt, but her hands were suddenly held within an iron grasping fist. She kicked the man, who grunted in pain as the blows connected with his shin and quickly twisted out of the way and twisted both of her hands behind her back. She felt ropes being tied around her wrists, and suddenly the hands let go. She wriggled her arms, but to no avail.

Now they were busy tying up her legs. She wasn't making it easy for them though, flailing around the way she was. "Psybeam again!" the man called to the Espeon, and suddenly pain shot through Akula's body again, her scream stifled by the cloth in her mouth.

Very soon they had her bound, gagged, and blindfolded, left sitting against a chimney on the roof. Akula didn't dare to move, for there was a likely possibility now of rolling of the roof blind and dropping to the ground. Even if below wasn't solid concrete, and instead the water of the canal, she could hardly swim without hands or feet. Cursing her own stupidity, all she could do was sit there, wait and hope. This is why they say "Curiosity killed the Meowth," she thought bitterly to herself.

Idiot!

November 6th, 2008, 03:03 AM

There was silence when both trainers waited for the other to let their guard down. For the perfect opportunity to strike. The only sounds came from Monferno's tail flame, although the rest of the Pokémon was frozen. It made crackling sounds because of the moisture in the air. Gwendolyn stared hard at the trainer, collecting little bits of information of how the trainer looked, starting with the physical body features like the height, length of the neck and colour of the skin.

"You cannot run." the mysterious trainer said at last.

Gwendolyn thought it would be a good idea to keep on talking. "That's true." she said.

"You cannot fight." the trainer reminded her.

Gwendolyn shrugged as she take a good look at the clothing. "Not really. I'll still try."

You cannot do anything at all." the trainer ignored Gwendolyn's response.

"I can still switch." Gwendolyn answered cheekily as she registered the last pieces of information. Facial features like the eyes, nose, ears and chin. She had a hunch about the trainer's next move.

"You cannot win anyway. I am actually impressed with your serenity. I assume this Pokémon is your best one against those with an ice typing. It is powerlessly frozen solid. Yet you are not worried about the impossibility to win."

"I have flawless confidence in my Pokémon." Gwendolyn said. A serious and determined appearance flared in place of the Murkrow smile. She held out a PokéBall straight out in front of her. "Monferno, come--"

"Block!" the trainer commanded. Glalie froze the moisture between Gwendolyn and Monferno, creating a thick ice wall just high enough to separate the trainer's PokéBall and Pokémon. Gwendolyn grinned. Her prediction was right. Many trainers can't resist keeping a momentarily helpless opponent in, especially one that affects the chances of victory significantly. There is a simple explanation to it. The battle is in their favour. Gwendolyn drew out her pocket calculator and punched the buttons hurriedly.

"That's your item of choice? A calculator?" the trainer said with surprise and disbelief. Gwendolyn nodded without looking up. "Save yourself the effort. I can tell you the probability of you winning the match is zero." The mysterious trainer continued with a laugh.

"No, it says one." Gwendolyn replied with a silly smile.

"This battle has been dragging on for too long. I have to end this now. Glalie!" the trainer ordered the Pokémon to attack. Glalie knows Earthquake and Blizzard. It was also trained to pick the right move depending on which would do more damage. The trainer knew the combined typings of these attack are not resisted by any Pokémon.

"Two fiery radians!" Gwendolyn commanded Monferno to perform the attack Flame Wheel. Drawing an angle of two pi radians is the same as drawing a 360 degrees angle, or a circle. Gwendolyn knew the move Flame Wheel was capable of unfreezing its user.

"Over here!" Gwendolyn rushed to the way she had been. She knew that if Monferno successfully struck Glalie, Block was no longer in effect. Gwendolyn had calculated that Glalie would lose upon impact. Monferno's momentum wasn't strong enough to defeat Glalie, but the blaze was more than adequate. Monferno, with the tail flame as the only flame on his body, jumped over the wall of ice and followed her. Gwendolyn knew the trainer couldn't catch up immediately. Clefairy's Grass Knot had bound the mysterious trainer's feet to the ground, buying her time to escape. Gwendolyn wanted to see the look on the trainer's face. She wanted to see the frustration the trainer had. But Gwendolyn never looked back.

Much to Quin's relief, the voice belonged to a simple old man taking a night promenade. The man helped her up from the canal and invited her for a cup of coffee at his place.

"Sorry, I don't have the time right now," Quin replied, looking up although she couldn't really see anything in the dark. "Do you know how I can get back to the roofs?"

"The roofs?" the man sounded suspicious of something. "Why would you want to climb to a roof?"

"Eh, that is," Quin tried to come up with a lie, "My Skitty was teasing me and she's still up there. I have to get her down..."

"Oh, I see," the man said happily but didn't sound any more trusting. "You'll find a ladder if you walk up this street for ten meters or so."

Quin walked to the direction the man had pointed her as quikly and non-suspiciously as she ever could. She knew the man was watching her when she started to climb the ladder. When her eyes were high enough for her to see on the rooftops again, she noticed that the two characters were standing nearby and mumbling something to each other. She had to climb all the way up or the man might have called the police or something, so she climbed up as silently as she could and squatted as soon as her feet were on the tin plate roof again.

She was soaking wet and the wind on the roof was freezing. She was shivering so much she was sure the characters could hear her. When Luffy floated to her from her back and touched her shoulder to greet her, she got so startled she let out a yelp. The whispering of the two suspicious silhouettes stopped and they looked around, seemingly alarmed.

Quin gasped and grabbed Luffy to her lap so he would not be seen. Had they seen her? Had she given out herself after such a long chase?

Note: If nothing else, I thought I'd try to keep this thread alive. How and where is everyone? Busy with school maybe? Anyway, I thought I'd post before a month has passed and before it'd be against the rules for us to post.

Drake begins to help his absol up when the thug he thought he beat tosses another poke ball "I guess I got no choice, Nidoking." he says with a hint of malice in his voice. Drake raiseshis head giving the thug an emotionless stare "So it's time to show our hands, to bad for you I hold the aces... You should have ran when you had the chance.' Drake finally says tossing a poke ball of his own "Luna, I'll leave it to you." The young trainer says as he turns to tend to Absol.

"Heh Nidoking, Megahorn." The Black clad opponent commands, to which his purple pokemon begins barreling towards Luna but the Umbreon dodged back catching some pavement to the face where the Nidoking's horn impacted before firing off a confuse ray.

Drake having total confidence in Luna's combat abilities begins spraying his Absol with potion. Meanwhile Umbreon stares intently on the Nidoking who in it's dazed state almost stumbles into the water causing it's trainer to quickly recall it before booking it into the night. Luna strolls over to Drake and Absol "Feeling better Absol?" to which she nods "Alright lets go... We probably can expect more of those fools." Drake Recalls Luna and he and Absol disapear into the shadows.
